i know this might sound a bit random people but im just curious about something, can LCD's be harmful to people who suffer from epilepsy? (I wouldn't think so cause they don't flicker like CRT's) if so then what would be the best way to negate the affects which can cause seizures? w/o quiting the game of course lol

what made me think about this, well I remember that in the instruction manuals in some game cases you get health warnings.

I'm not a Doc so I really can't answer this with 100% certainty, but I imagine it might trigger a seizure.

good morning, if it is morning there in Canada which I don't think it is at the time of my post, I live in the UK so forgive me LOL

if he gets time, Rodney may do a Q&A video on his Rodney Renolds channel about this topic, who knows :)

Yeah, especially with games

Yeah, especially with games that have lots of fast movement and flashy lights, people with epilepsy can suffer seizures while gaming. Best to play in a well-lit room, keep a distance from the screen, and take routine breaks.
