Dogs have only recently been able to watch TV, with the advent of HDTV with their higher framerates. Before that, with CRT’s, it was like watching a strobe light
We humans need about 16 to 20 images a second to perceive what we see as continuous film, whereas dogs need about 70 images per second.
So a few years ago, Fido was probably confounded by his master’s behaviour of sitting for hours staring at a flashing succession of images. With modern resolution and quicker imaging, dogs have become potential television viewers.
This has not gone unrecognised in the USA, for example, where hopeful TV producers have started special TV channels for dogs.

CRT's have a long afterglow so has plasmas, so there is defenetly no flicker as the cause of dogs not being "able" to see TV.
LCD's on the other hand was much hated at first because they could'nt refresh fast enough and that made them flicker.
Back then pc graphics cards didnt have refresh rates past 70Hz because there was no "need" for it as the CRT's could'nt keep up.
100 years ago some films was done in 16 pictures/second, does that mean that we cant see then because we would "only" see flicker?
