The flickering was only a problem if you were a foot or so from the ceiling....or on the next floor.

We fixed the problem...we bought LCDs for those affected! I also bought some lead undies!
LOL!! Yep - that can happen. Induction-related CRT interference can happen if you have bad power cabling nearby. Another one is the lighting. If you run neons you should choose a monitor refresh rate that causes the scan period to fall out of sync with your 50Hz neon lighting. If they sync then you can see a strobing effect which is a real PITA.
