I heard 2 rumors recently about the Amiga and the ST:

1. The Atari ST runs its Video at 70 hz.  This rumor came from the fact that
   someone who talked to a computer store salesperson (in Canada) claiming
   to already have a monitor (wanting to get out of the package deal) was
   told "you don't have one of these, it runs at 70 hz".

2. The Amiga has the capability to gen-lock it's video to an external source.
   If this is true (seen in a recent EE Times) and it works full color (they
   mentioned overlaying on video signals) then I MIGHT be willing to sacrifice
   flicker-free (60-70 hz non-interlaced) for NTSC compatibility.  Otherwise,
   anything less that 60hz non-interlaced is unacceptable (screw NTSC).
