Sorry, I did not mean to get anybody's hopes up. By the way, I have noticed that my 1084, which often suffers from the interlace fuzzies, seems to actually prefer PAL mode; I have not seen any trace of the fuzzies in PAL mode. Maybe it prefers the slower scan rate. So while the flickering is a bit worse in PAL mode than in NTSC mode, PAL mode does provide a sharper picture and a bigger screen (I'm getting 704x564 pixels with morerows). Of course, with PAL mode and morerows, you could get a 704x282 non-interlaced screen as well, which might be a reasonable compromise for those who just can't stand the flicker.
