I think the flickering tolerance depends on each individual - so if there
is a better option I would like to go with it - not sure how okay or
annoying it would come across for me when watching. And if i invest a few
hundred bucks on a box and that turns out to be not ideal - then it's such
a waste.

Is there something that folks here have - i am open to buying bare metal
and building one up myself...
