It is like watching a PAL movie, it jitters when it pans across on a monitor that is locked to 60hz lol

Fun fact, 4:3 pull down filter to match 24fps movies to 60hz signal caused that judder only in NTSC land. In PAL movies were sped up to 25fps to make it a steady 50hz, causing all movies in pall to have 4% less total running time.

With games it was the reverse, running slower in PAL land. 60fps turned into 50fps, games only running at 83% of the true speed.
