- A flicker-fixer (hardware) is the best way to do this. I'm using a MagnaScan
- on my 3000, no problem. It synchs 30-66 KHz, 50-110 Hz. AFAIK, you need 50 Hz
- for PAL. 15", ~$270 US.

- One thing I thought was excellent on my C-128 was having two monitor outputs.

- Using an RGB _and_ a composite moniter I could direct the OS to display on the
- hi-res screen, while displaying graphics on the other screen! This was
- excellent for writing programs. Also, I could view a .readme while displaying
- a picture!
