Just look at special graphics on a tv screen, like those facsimilies of credit cards on a commercial, or the team logos they show on sporting event broadcasts. Look at the graphics on The Computer Chronicals. Anything with distinct horizontal lines of differing contrast. They all flicker like crazy. Untill I got my Amiga, I never really understood why that flicker was there, now I know. On the other hand, many ham displays on the amiga look just like a TV screen, i.e. do not seem to flicker at all. Bill N.
