[comp.sys.amiga] Flicker Fixer and Grey Scale Multisync Monitors

rchampe@hubcap.clemson.edu (Richard Champeaux) (04/21/89)

     Has anyone tried using a grey scale multisync monitor (for instance
the NEC Multisync GS) with the Flicker Fixer?  I've seen NEC's Multisync GS
advertised between $189 and $220.  Since I don't have a lot of money, and
I use my monitor mostly for text, I figured that this would be perfect for
me.  I also figured that I could still have my 1080 hooked up for use with
games, animation, or anything else that needed color.
     So, does anyone know of any reason it wouldn't work?  Also, does anyone
know how it determines the shade of grey to display?  Does it combine the
R,G, and B inputs to determine how bright it be? (ie. various colors would
appear to be the same shade)  Or does it scale two of the inputs and then
add the three together to give the equivalence of 12 bit "resolution"?  Or
perhaps it just uses one of the inputs and ignores the rest?

Thanks for any help.
