Test	Phosphor persistence
Purpose	The phosphors on the face of most CRTs continue
	to glow for a short period of time after the electron
	beam has stopped energizing them . This
	phenomenon is called persistence. A certain amount
	of persistence is desirable in most applications. It
	prevents a flickering of a displayed image that
	most users would find objectionable. On the other
	hand, a CRT with an overly long persistence time
	causes moving objects to leave a blurred trail.
Method	A flickering in the slower moving boxes indicates
	that the combination of refresh rate and phosphor
	persistence is not suitable for long-term viewing.
	A fading tail left behind by the faster moving boxes
	indicates that the display may not be suitable for
	viewing animated images.
