You are dead on. An LCD does refresh, though. There's no software or hardware to tell it not to. So, every second each crystal is told to either keep it's color, or not keep it's color, but there is still some energy transfer from what I understand. The only problem with this is lifespan. Your LCD will never make it past the 8 year mark, alas... But I have seen some kickass LCD's, and if you're doing graphics at a set screen res and stuff, you'll never have any of the framerate problems we were talking about anyway, so who cares? I just like spouting off useless technical drivel sometimes, and I've been up for like ten hours working on some damned Brycean water... Grrr...
