Since about 2000, I recognised the fact that electrically, Y-Pb-Pr and analog RGB are just about the same thing except, Y-Pb-Pr conveys the red and blue channel in a differential manner.

I was going to ask you why you'd bother until I saw you were American, and therefore had no RGB on your TV.

Once that's done, your Amiga has the same type of output as the average DVD player and then all that's needed is a flat panel TV to get rid of the flicker and you can probably buy that at the corner store by now.

No, you won't get rid of the flicker.

Not just any LCD, but theoretically, a decent quality LCD-TV (with a line doubler) should handle the flicker.

Have you ever seen flicker on a flat panel TV??

If you have then you have managed to find a VERY special kind of TV... unlike any I have ever seen...

As far as I can tell, any and all flat panel TVs completely eliminate flicker.

Flicker is caused by the scanning of the electron beam in a CRT. There is no such thing in a TFT panel.

Kind of. As Iggy_Drougge pointed out, yes, LCD gets rid of 50/60 Hz flicker since there's no electron beam refresh. Laced modes *will* look funky on LCDs though (at minimum motion artifacting), and that has little to do with the monitor, but rather the signal it's being fed. Decent LCD TVs will deinterlace the signal, but your average PC LCD will not.

Once again I shall refer to the wiki...
