HiRes?  Sure...  640x256 is considered "HiRes" though.

Interlaced (640x512), which is probably what you are meaning, will flash/flicker, though.  Hardware design.  The best you can do is try to pick low-contrast colors for your workbench.  Dark blue, with a mid-blue text doesn't flicker too bad, but if it's not a perfect picture on a TV, it may be very hard to read, as not enough contrast.......  Experimenting with colors is your only hope, unless you want to buy it a flicker-free monitor. (not 1084 series -- the 1950/60 series)

You remeber that program too? You must be old like me


Yeah, I'm old enough to remember it, too...  Of course, I also remembered it didn't do me any more good than a nice low-contrast palatte did, plus it made stuff harder to read, IMHO.  ;-)

I stand by my advice, though, perhaps the sunglasses are also helpful.  :-D
