Mhmm interesting, it would be nice to see some more experiments with multiple levels of grayscale

what about during self-test, when it goes through those different patterns on the screen? unless my eyes deceive me, there is that weird thing where it phases from dots to horizontal lines. i don't know about you, but that looks actually flickerless grey to me. (unless the contrast is down then?)

it isn't grayscale, it's the contrast being down in some cases or the crappy calc LCD causing contrast to go down when there are alternate rows of pixels turned on/off (which probably uses a lot of power for odd reasons. It's 10x worse on the regular 83+)

I personally never noticed it much on my 83+SE. It happened, but to a much lesser extent.
