I have the opportunity to acquire the Commodore 1950 Multisynch monitor to
use with my Amiga 2000, but for the time being I do not want to
purchase the "Flicker-Fixer" card which is needed to give the
"VGA" style output.
Is anyone out there using the 1950 monitor with
the Amiga's RGB port? How bad is the interlace flicker problem in
comparison with the 1084?
And for people using the "Flicker-Fixer" card (the one sold by
Commodore): How bad is the "horizontal" flicker that I have
heard about?
Any advice or comments on the 1950 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Brad Crafton

Ok... Thats how I built my system. The 1950 comes with a nifty little plug adapter that lets you plug it straight into the standard RGB port. When I set mine up, the first thing I noticed was that the scan lines seemed more pronounced than they were on the 1084S, which is what I previewed the system on. And, for some reason, my screen seems to be shifted over to the right. I'm not sure if this is due to the 1950, or not, as my system was thoroughlyfried by a nasty bolt of lightning just as I made the switch. I like it alot, though. I can't help you with the C= flickerfixerthinggy. I got lucky and was ablt to buy a microway fixer with a genlock upgrade for 250. So, that was the one I got. One note about flickerfixing... They all seem to produce little fringies on fast moving objects. I understand the C= model lets you turn it off,which could prove a nice touch. I somet imes move the monitor back to the origi- nal port. Nice thing about the flickerfixer... I'm really sensitive to the whinepproduced by monitors. The flicker free scan rate is high enough that the whine no longer bothers me. :) Have fun, and all I can say is that I personally am hhappy with my 1950 and flickerfixer. Steve (Duckie)
