I'd never heard of it growing up in the era when that's all there was. I don't know if it's rare, but it's only in the last decade or so I've heard people complaining about it.
We don’t perceive all types of screens in the same way. Film projectors and CRTs display parts of the frame, only part of the time. TFT and IPS screens introduce a lot of inertia and blend the frames. Both of these help the motion illusion. OLED on the other hand has the harshest frame transition - it displays the entire area for the entire time and switches frame content almost immediately.

I've heard this called the sample-and-hold effect. It looks a bit like a fast slide show, and really stands out in high-contrast, steady motion scenes.
