I don't own a flicker fixer, but I have owned a monitor with a high persistence phospher. The main drawback of a HP phospher is it can leave "ghosting" when doing animation. This is because the phospher don't fade quickly enough. From my own experiences, I've found these type of monitors to be very "touchy", going out of focus often, but this may not have anything to do with the picture tube (hey--I ain't a hardware guy...:). Another advantage of the flickerFixer is it's ability to "fill-in" those ugly black lines on a non-interlace screen. >-- >T.
