The Picasso IV is the rolls royce of all Amiga flickerfixers.. You can configure it to double the vertical frequency between 50 and 120Hz.

I have a scandoubler for the vertical frequency of the Amiga, but the 50Hz remain.

Note, that you were talking about vertical frequency when you meant horizontal. The scandoubler doubles the horizontal scan rate from around 15kHz to about 31kHz.

Thanks for that left Shift tip.
Excuse me for being ignorant, what is PicassoModeTNG?

A piece of software for tweaking Picasso96 display modes.

It is also able to tweak the flickerfixer modes and save them to the card's flash..

100Hz PAL modes, wahahay!

I think TNG needs a working P96 installation, however. I run CGX4 and haven't been able to change my flickerfixer from the 80Hz someone else set it to. :-(

I guess I'll have to install P96 again for a while..

Even if you reconfigure the flickerfixer to 60 Hz (or something else) to make PAL/NTSC work on your LCD, you still won't be able to see the early startup menu (because the P-IV hasn't initialized yet).
I'm speaking from personal experience here....

It will come in from the early startup menu. Speaking from personal experience here.

I played around with this this morning, and it seems that I can't set PAL to less than 55Hz and NTSC to less than 64Hz. Anything less goes to some crazy 100-300Hz mode, that my TFT can't display. :-)

(yes, the best refresh rates it gave me were around 300Hz according to the TFT's OSD)
