According to the manual that comes with Digi-View 4.0, Dynamic HiRes is 
essentially 21-bit color.   I have noticed myself that it is extremely
unmanipulatable and unusable unless you are just displaying a picture.
    The best still picture I have seen on an Amiga yet, however, is a Dynamic
Hires pic, entitled "thelook" which is featured in one of NewTek's demos.  It
is a close up of a man
's face, in interlace mode, with almost no flicker whatsoever.  (If you turn
up the brightness on your monitor and look closly, his eyebrow flickers 
slightly.)
