#Super Denise Upgrade
4 messages in this thread
I have an Amiga 500 with a 2002 monitor. I have upgraded the operating
system to 2.0 (which is great, BTW). I use AMAX quite a bit for work. I'm
wondering ifthe new Super Denise chip will eliminate the flicker I see when
n AMAX. The ads and articles I've seen all seem to focus on using a
multi-sync monitor. I'd like to keep my 2002, but get rid of the flicker.
Is this possible?
Sorry, you will have to add a VGA monitor to your 2002 and use the VGA
monitor for the non-flicker mode, or better still, get a multi-sync.
The reason you cant use the 2002, is due to its limit of 15.75 khz display.
The way flicker is removed, is by using 31.5khz output, this higher scan
rate allows the display of these higher res modes without flicker. This
just can't be done on a 2002, a VGA montior most of the time, will only
display the higher rate of 31.5khz, thus you would have to use the 2002 for
the normal Amiga displays, this is why most
people say get a multi-sync, as it will display all the amiga modes on a
single monitor.
I have an A3000 with a 1950 multi-sync and I use A-Max II in productivity
mode and the diaply is fantastic, no flicker and a huge screen! I also have
the 286 Bridgeboard and a Super VGA/multi-function card, I use the same
1950 monitor for the S-VGA output and use a data-switch
to flip between Amiga/A-Max and S-VGA displays. All on one monitor!

Thanks for the input, Tim. I guess that the old saying "If it sounds too
good to be true…" must be right. <sigh> Guess I'll have to break down and
get a multi-sync monitor.
Id recomend it, you will love a mu;ti-sync once you get one, its the price
you have to pay for one that you wont love. But that will pass
