My Eyetech 'EZ-VGA Plus' Scandoubler/FF takes a few minutes to reach optimum display quality.

When I first boot it's very dark and gradually the display gets brighter. The longer I leave the Amiga powered down, the longer it takes the scandoubler to stop flickering and brighten up.

Maybe I have a duff capacitor in there.

I wonder what A3000 or Picasso-IV users experience with their inbuilt scandoublers/flicker-fixers.

Well I have to say that despite the small warmup time I'm quite pleased with my EZ-VGA Plus. It's 16-Bit so it's limited to 65,536 colours as opposed to HAM8's 262,144 but that's not really noticeable. It's the 5:6:5 variety with the emphasis on the green gun so dithering is good.

I'd say they run best in 60Hz NTSC than they do in PAL. I got a lot of visible lines vertically down the screen in PAL modes but in NTSC they vanish completely, everything is crisp.

The only thing about the flicker-fixer is that moving objects such as the ball in Arkanoid might appear jagged and Super-Hi Res modes are a no-go.
