Flicker fixer on CRT vs LCD

[vic20owner]

Your LCD cant display Amiga resolutions without scaling.. so it's sort of like the filter mode in WinUAE... You can try playing with the clock setting on the lcd and see if it helps.

I remember being very dissapointed with the scan doubled display on my LCD monitor.

Right, you want something which is a multiple of what you want to display... problem is only producivity mode (native) falls into this category at 640x480.  Everything else (scan doubled ntsc/pal) looks like crap.

I found that productivity mode looked excellent on my LCD monitor, but double ntsc did not... and it still flickered even with the scan doubler (worse actually).

I sold the scan doubler and bought a 1084s monitor.

However, I just picked up another scan doubler.. I wanted to try it with a CRT this time and see what I thought.

My 1084s actually looks better than my LCD... a lot better.  Interlace mode looks great but there is a small amount of flicker which isn't too hard to hide by reducing the contrast.

Problem is I don't expect my 1804s to last forever... it's already a little dark compared to a new monitor.
