I just recently installed a Flicker Free II Video in my A2000 and an SVGA card for my BB 286. I'm displaying both of these on an NEC 3D monitor. After a few days of cable swapping back and forth I bought a 15 pin AB switch box. Since installing the switchbox I am now seeing a slight shadow effect on the AMIGA screen, particularly when displaying dark letters on a light background. I assume this is some type of interference from the switchbox or the extra cable from the box to the FFV. Does anyone have any suggestions on a possible solution? (I seem to remember reading somewhere that not all extension cables are of top quality for video signal transmission). The VGA screen doesn't have this problem Also when I switch back and forth between the Amiga and the VGA card, there is a very brief display of the image, then the screen goes black for about a second and then the image is displayed again. Can this switching back and forth cause any harm to my monitor?
