If you want to sit in front of a computer for a long time get a monitor which can handle 85Hz.
Alternately get an LCD screen which doesn't flicker at all (at least not noticably) ...but they do effect your eyes.

Yup, no flicker on an LCD-tv either, I have tried with an handheld Casio.
MagicTV worked fine on CRTs good enough for DOpus but not for reading or editing text.
Apple did it right the first time, bring back the Newton!

There was a patch years ago that ran PAL resolution in NTSC refresh. It was pretty stable, combined with editting the gadget widths/colours as above, and I got a pretty stable WB- without having to resort to 16colour. Your TV had to support both PAL and NTSC though.

Interesting, how did the tv identify it as PAL or NTSC?
What was the name of it?

That's because LCDs don't have a refresh signal like CRT. Trouble is, one is likely to cost as much as a SVGA monitor and graphics card together.

I know.
Couldn“t read much at a 4 inch screen anyway.
