The procedure is self-explanatory with what you CAN do with a strobe-light; place one stroke of the White-out or nail-polish on your monitor and while the application is rendering you need to a-tune the strobe-light to the frequency of the -- tada! Your perceivable framerate is limited by the monitor, and then further truncated by your eye(s)' optical nerve. Nothing to see here, move along.
