Not only does it reduce glare (and DRASTICALLY) reduce > flicker, but it makes the colors on my old 1080 look richer. One of the best things I've ever purchased for my Amiga cost me $550. It's a Sony monitor that looks like a TV. I can't remember the name or where I bought it but I've seen it advertised in Amusing Confusion. Not only does it seem to have reduced flicker in makes the colors in my friends 1080 monitors look like shit. (Incidentally, I saw my first 1084 monitors this weekend, and although everybody tells me they are ``fuzzier'', the colours appeared to me to be more saturated. Maybe they have a bigger dot pitch but better phosphors (or as that silly NY amiga users group article put it: phosphorous) -- If you were to flatten out Wales, it would be bigger than England. richard@gryphon.CTS.COM {backbone}!gryphon!richard
