We've bought a few of the 400s and 400t machines, and have 
noticed a bad flicker on all of the monitors that we never
had on our Apollos.  I understand that these machines use 
a 60 hz HP monitor (1280 color, model #98754A) and our 
Apollos use a 70 hz monitor.  This flicker is apparent in
color or monochrome modes, with the room lighting on and 
off, and through all ranges of contrast, brightness, etc.

Can anything (short of the $10,000 upgrade per machine
suggested by our HP rep) alleviate this problem?  If we
swap monitors with HP enough, could we eventually get one
with a more persistent phosphor?

We can now add migraines and eye strain to our carpal tunnel
and back problems.

If anyone can help or commiserate, please post a reply or
