I am also impressed with this sony monitors specs. However I would like to know how it would handle interlaced video signal from the amiga. I have a feeling that it would flicker on the Nx400 modes, this would be unacceptable. Does anyone know of a non-amiga monitor which provides for analog RGB and has slow-decay phosphors? I always want to have a choice when I buy a product. Until I get a good color monitor I will be using a crumby B&W one when I get my Amiga next week. Let me know in a hurry if you have any alternatives. Thanks in advance, Mark Froelich YAAD - Yet Another Amiga Developer ~cbosgd!osu-eddie!mwf

Summary:Maybe KV-1311CR won't flicker? In article <587@osu-eddie.UUCP> mwf@osu-eddie.UUCP (Mark W. Froelich) writes: >I am also impressed with this sony monitors specs.

However, there is another source of flicker: moire patterns. If the raster lines are critically placed with respect to the pixel triads on a dot-matrix CRT, a small variation in position between scans could flicker due to a moire interference. I saw some of this on an "Amiga" monitor at the computer store (the Mandril picture). It's possible that the vertical pixel stripes in the KV-1311CR would obviate that effect. I would like to try the Amiga with the Sony sometime to check it out. I guess I'll hafta wait for mine and cart it over to the monitor store. Jere M. Marrs Tektronix, Inc. tektronix!tekgvs!jerem
