[comp.sys.amiga] FLICKER MASTER and other cheap interlace fixes

krell@xanth.cs.odu.edu (Mike Krell) (02/04/89)

     I want to start running an interlaced workbench screen on my Amiga 1000.
I am considering buying Flicker Master, one of those cheap sheets of polarizing
material which is mounted on the monitor screen to eliminate flicker.
     Does anyone have any experience with one of these things?  Does it really
work?  Does it distort the colors or the images?  Is it easy to remove if
desired?  In short, are you satisfied with it?
     If anyone can pass along some info on Flicker Master or a similar product,
I'd really appreciate it.  Please E-mail your replies; I will summarize to the
net if there is enough interest.  Thanks in advance for your help.

      The solution I have found most comfortable s to pick colors that don't
  flicker.  Most low contrast combinations should eliminate flicker. 
  (This way you don't have to remember to wear glasses and you don't have
  to reduce you light output for low res work.)

      PS. I use 640x400 DPaint quite frequently.

The only colour combination You could use on PAL machines is black on black :-(
