I just received a FlickerFixer from MicroWay and have it hooked to a Zenith ZCM-1490 monitor (thats the flat screen one). I have been using an Apple //gs Color Monitor (made by Hitachi) until now, but as I have to demo some interlaced application to a customer I needed the flicker fixer. First of all I find it the flicker fixer to be a high quality snap to install product that really does enhance the display of the amiga in both interlaced and non interlaced modes (but much moreso in interlaced mode where flicker is 100% removed). Now for the monitor, This is suppose to be the greatest invention since the CRT tube and it is nice in some ways. It does not distort on the edges and straight lines look straight, but I find the colors to be less than satisfactory. Maybe it is just my personal opinion but I am seriously considering taking it back for a Sony Multiscan. The colors on that monitor look much more vivid and less muted to me. The colors on this zenith appear too flat. The text appeared much better on the //gs monitor to me as well (except for the minute black space between scan lines that is now gone because of the flicker fixer). Probably a flicker fixer with a sony multiscan is the way to go. P.S. The //gs monitor which I had hooked up because it was laying around provided a very high quality display on the amiga. The colors were very rich, interlace flicker was greatly reduced versus any other monitor I have seen on the amiga and the black void between scan lines was much less obtrusive than other monitors I have seen. I really wish I could make it work with my FlickerFixer board because if I could I would take this Zenith back right now. Maybe the MacII monitor is the way to go with FlickerFixer.
