Rick, I have the Sony KV1311 on my Amiga. I am a interlace convert and will never go back to a non-interlace WB. Somebody left a message here a short while ago saying that he had played with his V-sync knob on his KV1311 and had achieved flicker-free interlace. I had to try it, I did, and although I have _some_ flicker, It's really quite nice. I do not have my contrast turned down, and Im using nice sharp whites, and very contrasting colors. -John

Why are you a fan of interlace? I assume it's got to be something more than masochistic tendencies (no offense intended)?

Stephen: I am a fan of interlace and with the right choice of colors it is almost bearable. It is really nice to have double the normal number of lines and a medium persistance monitor would really help alot. 73, bill

Bill, I've seen advertisements for CRT filters that supposedly significantly reduce the amount of apparent flicker in the high res modes. Have you ever tried one? I'm curious to learn if they're effective.

Stephen, Probably for the same reason I am. 50 lines of text per screen is very useful for programming (and reading CIS messages).

Stephen, I use interlace for it's 50 line feature. I find on a Multi-tasking machine like the Amiga, where most users have a number of things going on, that by using interlace, I can get more information on the screen. Wether it's more text, more visible windows, whatever. The resolution is also double the standard WB res., so I get a little crisper text on the side. Im a window man, not a screen man. Although many programs need there own screens to work in, many don't and I find it much faster and more efficient to manipulate windows than screens. I wish more software artists would allow us to work in moveable, sizeable windows, than ponderous screens. -John
