- How to have virtually 'no flicker' on a 15khz monitor
- -----------------------------------------------------
-
- By Defacto
-
- MAGICWB, is a new set of icons for your Workbench, that spruce it up and
- gives it a proffesional appearance, but you have to put the screenmode to
- interlace (640x512). As you all know this causes flicker which even on a
- AGA machine is pretty bad. The only way to get rid of the flicker is to
- buy a flicker-fixer or a Multisync monitor, both expensive.
-
- In the summer I went and bought a pair of sunglasses with 'polarised
- lenses', but I had long forgot about them and put them away in deep
- storage until next summer, then it hit me! Polarised lenses block out
- glare and reflections and the monitor, (Philips CM8833MK2) was flickering
- like mad, so I tried on the glasses and hey presto!, flicker was reduced
- to a acceptable degree.
-
- Now you can either buy a screen glare filter, which is recommended as it
- also sheilds you harmful radiation and improves contrast, or buy a decent
- pair of 'shades' this will save you a lot of money and give you
- acceptable flicker.
-
- If you know of any other tips of reducing flicker WITHOUT buying a new
- monitor then send us your suggestions to MiGGYBYTE!.
-
- NOTE: If your shades are really dark then turn up your contrast on your
- monitor/TV if that doesn't work then buy another pair of shades that are
- 'lighter' or a anti-glare filter - recommended.
-
- Now is that a total useless tip or what ;)
