Contrast definitely matters. The highest fps experiment that I've heard of was a researcher who had people dart their eyes left and right while looking at a strobing LED. They saw separate dots instead of a continuous line at strobe rates of up to 1500-2000Hz. That's probably the top-end of visual detection for a high-contrast, high-motion video.

On the topic of _distinct_ frames... I've made a simple tool [1] that specifically generates a sequence of highly distinct frames, which can be useful to do various tests on LCD/CRT monitors.

Btw, is it okay to plug your stuff? It's my first submission to HN so I'm not yet an expert on how things work here. I just thought it was relevant, so I wanted to share...
