There is no flicker in the blue and no wierd Are you sure there's no flicker on SuperHires Interlace mode? That's the 1280x400 in NTSC, and is not supported by the Amber chip, Display Enhancer circuit, so the output is interlaced, and should flicker. Plus are you sure that the Seiko (or may be your Sieko 1450) can display SuperHires mode? It's 15KHz. >effects when swiching modes.
