One man's experience. . . . About a month ago, I used Dpaint II in hi-res mode
with a two-color screen to draw some software charts for work. On my KV-1311,
this was barely tolerable with the proper choice of colors. However, when I
decided to take my Amiga to work, I didn't want to haul in the monitor. So I
used a ??-301, the common Amdek amber-screen monitor used with IBM's.
Although I could ocassionally note some flicker, I worked with this all day
without the eyestrain that I experience after staring at an interlaced color
display, even when the flicker is nearly subliminal. A very satisfactory
solution, although the sample Digi-view images I showed my co-worker did
leave something to be desired. :-)

I was usig black on white. Whenever the program modified the colors to bring
up a requester, the dot pattern caused by the chroma information was very
noticeable.

I have no idea what persistance phosphor is used in this monitor.
