I

  came across weird phenomenon on accident.. an open E played on a guitar in front of a computer monitor operating at an 85Hz refresh rate allows you to "see" the vibration of the string as a perfect sine wave. Of course, upon seeing this phenomenon I had a great urge to share it with other people, so I made a little video. Click on the image below to see the video (it is a 900KB quicktime movie). I also noticed that a refresh rate of 72Hz works pretty well for the D string.
