Was using a TV for any computer just the "not done" thing, even though it was much cheaper and easier solution?
By 1988-89 Mac/PC users were used to seeing a steady 640*480 VGA display as the next gen. Though the Amiga had more power and greater color resolution than the typical CGA or VGA at that time, the flicker really put many people off. Casual business users and some gamers were never going to go for a flickery display over a steady 16 color (or grey scale) VGA. Here in the states, it was concidered old school C64 or first gen nintento game console to have such a display. Cool was VGA even with it's 16 colors and beep, beep audio. Why Commodore dropped the flicker fixer for the A4000 has confounded me for years. Sales might have doubled if it could take a VGA monitor like a 3000.
