I haven't seen a real PAL screen for about 4 years, but I don't remember
any more flicker than NTSC. Anyone seeing PAL on an NTSC Amiga isn't
seeing real PAL. I don't know if it makes any difference, but the PAL
scan rate is 50Hz, but the NTSC monitor should be 60Hz. Anyway, remember,
most PAL countries have a 50Hz power supply, as opposed to 60Hz in North
America, so maybe a 60Hz PAL in Europe would be impractical.

If anyone REALLY knows for sure, please follow on.
