Well, my Mitsubishi Diamond Scan does fairly well at reducing flicker because it uses phosphors with longer persistence than some of the more common monitors around. And if your in the market, you can get some realy huge multi-synchronous monitors from them. (#include ). Just how much is the Archimedes selling for?
