Right. On my monitor I use a black background with black letters, A polaroid
filter and poloroid sunglasses for an absolutely flicker free environment.

Sometimes I just leave the monitor off for extra flicker protection.


seriously tho: I use a medium grey (gray?) background and black letters for
flicker reduction. I have a sony 1209CPD [i think thats the right model #]
with an extra fine dot pitch. Beats the crap out of the standard Amiga
monitors. I took it to a computer fair once and used my amiga for a slideshow
and got three offers from total strangers to buy my monitor. The flicker 
seems to be even more noticable on it though, becasue of the extra sharpness.
