| 776.1 | Window tinting film is just as good. | HYSTER::DEARBORN | Trouvez Mieux | Tue Oct 06 1987 10:52 | 11 |
| I've seen a few reviews of it and they don't reccommend it. Sunglasses
will work just as well. It is just a tinted piece of plastic.
The biggest problem is that it is very reflective, making reflections
very obvious.
Ed Acciardi had one (I think.) As far as I know, he doesn't use
it anymore.

| Yes, I did have one. When you first place one over an interlaced,
high-contrast screen, the difference is startling. The flicker
is almost completely gone. After a while, you notice that the colors
have all turned into pastels, and the sharpness is gone.
I'm sure you can achieve the same effect by lowering the brightness
and contrast.
I have some saved screen color combos that don't flicker at all
in hi-res. The trick is to make sure that all four colors registers
on Workbench are set to about the same intensity levels. For example,
a light blue text on a dark blue background won't flicker at all.
Likewise, amber on black looks fine.
I'm a little pissed at hearing that CBM's long-persistance monitor
may be cancelled. Interlace flicker is the single biggest flaw
on the Amiga, but also one of the easiest to fix. I may yet end
up springing for an Electrohome monitor. Or, wait and see if a
de-interlace card appears for the A2000 and then upgrade.

| Personally, I like the Jitter-Rid. To each his own....
Even with "nice" colors, I can see interlace blinking. The Jitter-Rid
helps reduce that feeling to near zero. It is, I believe, polarizing
plastic. Even if it's a placebo-type effect, I don't care. It works
for me!

| Polarization has no effect whatsoever on the interlace flicker.
It is the tinting that reduces the flicker.

| I don't have any software that forces interlace... But, if I
must you interlace, I also use GENLOCK and watch TV at the
same time. GENLOCK seems to cut a lot of jitter out somehow.

| re .4
I don't have two Jitter-Rids, so I don't know for sure if they are
polarizing or not. But polarizing does help. It's been documented
by these "perception" types.

| Re: Polarization
Rotating a polarization filter will show if it has any effect or
not. It has no effect. However, most polarization filters are
tinted. People using polarized sunglasses report reduced flickering.
Tipping the head from side to side (rotating the filter) makes no
difference in the effect...therefore it is the tint of the lenses
that is reducing the flickering.
Turning down the brightness has virtually the same effect.
