- Okay, just to make sure we're on the same footing, I know what interlace
- flicker looks like and although my problem looks somewhat similar, this is
- definitely not interlace flicker. I'm using an A3000 and 1950 monitor with
- the de-interlacer on.
-
- Basically what happens is the picture will jitter up and down a pixel at
- irregular time intervals. The effect is extremely annoying. Also, about
- 45% of the first scanline flickers ALL the time. I had a similar
- problem about a year ago and after a month or so the picture on the monitor
- started rolling and no amount of fiddling with the v. hold control would fix
- it. I had that monitor replaced on Commodore's Gold Service program
- and the problem went away until (you guessed it) two weeks after my Gold
- Service number expired. In effort to pin down the problem, I swapped my
- monitor over to an IBM and hooked the IBM monitor to my Amiga. My 1950
- appeared to perform flawlessly on the IBM but the IBM monitor had the same
- problem my Amiga did with the first scanline, although the picture DID NOT
- jitter.
-
- Would I'd like to know is: Has anyone else had this problem and gotten
- rid of it? What is the computer or monitor (or both) that was at fault?
- And how much did it cost to fix?
