Please, let's not spread misinformation!

Multisync monitors DO flicker.

All you get for your extra 2-300 bucks is the ability to spend another
5-700 bucks for MicroWay's flickerFixer board for your A2000. THEN you
have no flicker.

Of course the rumoured Enhanced Chip Set has a flicker free mode that
also requires a multisync montior. But the ECS is nowhere close to
shipping, and it's got severe color restrictions on the flicker-free
mode (4 colors from a palette of 64 at 640x400 as I remember).
