All high scan rate monitors (EGA, VGA, Mac II) are designed to leave a black border around the image. Television derived displays (CGA and Amiga) use overscan which extends the image beyond the bezel of the monitor. Flickerfixer displays the entire amiga image within the visible region of 31.5 KHz monitors. Most users prefer to increase the workbench size using the morerows utility. I use 688 x 470 with colors set to light grey, black, white, red (left to right in preferences). Monitors have different ranges of adjustment of horizontal size. One of the best monitors for use with flicker fixer is the Taxan 770 Plus. It can be adjusted to minimize the border and has an image size that is about an inch bigger than a NEC multisync II. Another multiscanning monitor that is worth considering is the Mitsubishi AUM-1381A. It is the only multiscan that is also capable of accepting a composite input. Peter.
