 I agree with Kronos.If you have an ATI card that has Video input (or another VVideo card)then just plug your Amiga into the Video input of tha card and open up the TV viewing window and watch your Amiga right there Flicker Free!

 If you dont have that........the next best and Free solution is to Download:

VISUAL PREFS--- (put double borders on the edges and less bright shine and less dark shadow)
TOOLS DAEMON  (No more opening drawers after this)
MAGIC MENU  (makes Tools Daemon look alot nicer)

if you have and older Amiga that does not have AGA, then get MagicTV from Aminet web site. It will turn your Workbench into Flisker free! as long as your running your Workbench in 16 colors or 8 colors.


 ALL are free............Visual Prefs may need registering later :-)

Funny.you ask questions you already know the answer to.....haha.you knew no matter what that you still want a 1084s Monitor...........you just wanted people to agree with you more so that you could feel good about getting it! :-)

its a good idea anyway buddy................but I got news for you..........the 1084 flickers as much as a TV except you will see the Flickering more clearly and crisper hehe.

the Software I suggested is the only hope now, unless you buy a FlickerFier which If you do, I recommend you get the 1942 monitor instead....which looks Identical to the 1084s D2 but it also can display VGA and DblPAL and DblNTSC, so the Flicker fixer Scandoubler will work with this monitor passing a clear stable picture to it.

Another simple solution..........get a Genlock with S-Video (Y/C)   and connect it to a TV with S-Video and you will get a picture almost identical in quality to a 1084s Monitor, but just on a bigger screen...........I suggest a PHILIPS TV as many of them can disply PAL even adjusting the picture automatically.

@Speelgoedmannetje

No.you cant use a flickerfixer/scandoubler for a 1084s, as it does not support VGA..........a FlickerFixer turns the signal into a VGA(scandoubled) and fixes the flicker.

I do know of some scan doublers that still flicker because they lack a flickerfixer.its kinda like productivity mode.

Dont know if they have stand alone flickerfixers that don't scan double hte image.............if they do, then you can use that on a 1084s


@blobrana

What a weird screen mode....1000x 600? what is that? Super HighRes Interlaced? Your icons must look weird unless you kept the ones that come standard on WB2.0 and 3.1.



I have the American equivalent of the  philips CM8833 II monitor...it by Magnavox which is owned by Philips, but in the back of the monitor it says "PHILIPS" and looks identical to your monitor. Now I must ask does your monitor Strech the screen to fit a PAL screen when you put it in NTSC mode?.........the only way to truly know is to test that Philips monitor and a 1084s side by side but one at a time with the RGB cable.

Because My Magnavox automatically shrinks the screen to fit NTSC when I put it in PAL mode...so I dont miss any lines in the picture..in my opinion it squishes it too much but I adjust the controls.
See on a 1084s when I put it in PAL mode.the screen image is shifted up.but the Magnavox shrinks it and centers it.

you can even test it in the startup screen by holding the 2 mouse buttons down and when the menu comes up.just tap any key on the keyboard to switch to PAL or NTSC.you can keep doing this over and over.
