Lines: 21 From: William "Chops" WestfieldYeah. If interlaced displays cause unacceptable flicker, then how come comercial television isn't bother by this? I think it boils down to the following: 1) TV pictures are low contrast - almost the entire screen is emiting some light. 2) TV pictures are moving. 3) TV Pictures have pretty low resolution - no way does your TV have 640 horizontal dots in a typical picture. So, for ful screen animated graphics, Id expect the Amiga to perform OK using an interlaced display, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea for text. (hmm. We have some displays here that use interlacing. Maybe Ill try hooking up a monitor without high persistance phosphor, and see how it looks...) BillW
