+The first half line does flicker. It is only annoying if you can see it.

Just got my A2320, which I am using with a Princeton UltraSync 14''.
Absolutely fantastic.

I didn't see the top 1/3 line flicker thingie until I read Blaine's article.
Then I honked the background color up to this really disgusting bright blue,
moved the vertical position down, and sho'nuff, there it was.  If you have
your background color set to anything reasonable, I can't imagine that you'd
ever notice this glitch.  Scott Hood hinted that a fix may be in the works,
anyway.  Wonder if an upgrade would be offered? :-)

+Buy it! The flickering first half line is the only disadvantage to the
+A2320. I've owned a flickerFixer for about three years, and while it's a
+great piece of hardware, the A2320 is better in every other respect,
+especially price.

Agree totally.  My dealer is selling them for $275, which is probably higher
than they can be gotten for (think I saw $249 somewhere).  At least with the
Princeton, the performance is outstanding.  If you can't tell, I also
recommend the monitor.  For a very reasonably priced monitor, it has been a
quite pleasant suprise.
