But for those of you who bought your Amiga to do desktop video, the
answer is not scan-doublers, or LP monitors, as they won't help when
you videotape the output and run it on someone's TV.  For those people,
the real answer is: Learn to Design Hi-Res Screens that Don't Flicker.
How much are you bothered by flicker of images while watching TV?  Well
guess what guys, the Amiga is running at the exact same rate and interlace
as that.  Using a LP monitor or scan doubler at home is likely to mislead
you into thinking your designs are not flickering, and as soon as you give
a videotape to a friend he'll come back and tell you it looks like shit.
I want to stick with standard persistance monitors because I want to know
what my output is going to REALLY look like (well, closer anyway) when
transferred to tape.
