I don't know that the TV is at 60Hz. Since it uses a flyback transformer, the 
frequency relys on the components used in the flyback's driver circuitry. The 
60Hz coming into the set is rectified almost immediatly when it comes in, 
then it goes through caps, transistors, and other things to drive the flyback. 
But I might be wrong, because I dont know if that frequency you see on the tv 
comes from the flyback, or something that IS at 60Hz. 
So I checked it. I too, have a fan in the line of sight of my tv. It is a 
three-speed fan. I checked all three paterns on the tv, then checked them 
with a fluorescent light that sits beside the fan. The patterns all looked 
similar, with the TV and the light. they are much easier to see with the TV, 
probably even more if it was dark. 
I've never tried it before, but I'm gonna put that
<hot-streamer-dot-com/jonathon/motors/RSGdisk.htm>RSG disk on my sync motor 
:-) and watch it at dark, infront of the TV...
