Should I be able to see the day light flicker outside?
I have white blinds(daylight shines through them) behind my monitor which flicker really badly whilst looking at them through the glasses with settings at 120hz...
I've gave them to a few people and they all notice this flicker(really obvious).

Should we be able to see this or is there perhaps something wrong?

I get this too.
Not sure what frequency the sun is at :~) but its more noticeable than any of the electric lights in my room.

"The frequency of visible light is referred to as color, and ranges from 430 trillion Hz, seen as red, to 750 trillion Hz, seen as violet. Again, the full range of frequencies extends beyond the visible spectrum, from less than one billion Hz, as in radio waves, to greater than 3 billion billion Hz, as in gamma rays."

lol Dreamingawake ;)

Yes it's normal that you see daylight flickering at 120Hz. The human eye flicker perception limit varies significantly according to the amount of light your eyes recieve.
The amount of light you get from the sun, even though blinds, in an order of magnitude higher to what an LCD display can produce.

If you want to suppress the flicker effect, you have to play in much darker conditions.

Man I used to notice this heavily when I was doing 85hz shutter. Almost gives you a seizure! 120hz I can still see it, but not as bad.
