Hello All, I'm looking into what options are available to rid my Amiga of high resolution flicker. I've heard this and I've heard that about WB 1.4, MicroWay's flickerFixer and Multisync Monitors. I don't have enough solid information to choose anything at all. Here's what I've "heard": 1) Microway's flickerFixer and a multisync look great (don't know which multisync though) 2) Don't buy a flickerFixer yet because WB 1.4 specs haven't been solidified and the new chipset might eliminate the flicker. 3) A multisync monitor by itself does improve the Amiga's high res. mode a little bit. Not perfect but a little better. 4) If you do get a multisync, average specs should be: a) 800 x 600 pixels b) 14" diagonal screen size c) 15-35 kHz horizontal frequency d) 50-90 Hz vertical frequency e) .31 pixel size (dot pitch) is average .28 is nice (I assume that's .31 millimeters?) f) $600 5) A VGA monitor would work fine with the flickerFixer and looks very nice (especially one of Zenith's with an "X-Y tension screen") but it may not be able to handle everything new that comes along (ie: WB1.4) (Anyone care to elaborate on what Zenith's X-Y tension screen is?) I'm really lost so any information at all will help. Thank you. Oh, I'm not too familiar with the messaging system on Compuserve so if at all possible send replies as E-Mail that will show up when I log on. Brent Anderson 76424,3107
