The Indivision Scandoubler/Flicker Fixer also known as a Toastscan in the US/Canada is a good choice the only problem I have with it is it takes about one minute before it sysnc's up properly and the image stops flikering on the PC monitor I am using.
You can also go with a used internal graphics card (Picasso, Cybervision, GVP and others) but this will usualy cost more.

I have the same thing on my Toastscan, tonyvdb.  No matter how I tweaked it, it always took about a minute to stabalize the image.  Then it was rock solid.

Recently I was upgrading a customer's Amiga onsite and they had one of the original Toastscans from some years ago. When the Amiga was initially powered up it would take a few minutes for the circuits to warm up and the image to stabalise.  So I dont think it is unusual.

My original, predicesor to Toastcan only takes like 10 seconds or so to stabalize, when WB loads it is already done.  :P

What is the perpouse of the little adjustment screw on the one end of the Toastscan? I have turned it but it seems to make no difference.

It simply fine syncs the signal.  You may see a sharper picture with small adjustment.

In theory a few parts changes should allow you to alter any common "PC" monitor to handle the NTSC and PAL frequencies of the Amiga. The question is, which parts?  It's a damn shame that except for TIMM, the companies making monitors decided it wasn't in their interest to make monitors that scanned at other rates. If they did you'd use them for TV's, and with DVD and VHS players.

They would much rather sell you two CRTs instead of one.

{bleep}s.  We have much to thank Commodore for.
