   Hi,

       I used to use sun3/sun4 work stations.  But now our department switched to
   ds3100's.  In retrospect, most people who use the ds3100 regret the change.
   The main problem is the terrible display.  For some reason, the display
   flickers and quite honestly after about two minutes I get a headache.  I know
   other people who refuse to use the 3100's for this same reason.

       However, I hear alot of people talking about the 3100's on this newsgroup
   and others and no one complains about the crappy displays.  Why?  Is there a
   fix for this that we don't know about?

I think "crappy" is a definite overstatement -- in many ways I prefer
the DS3100 display, but they do have a lower refresh rate: 60 Hz, in fact --
the same as the rate at which neon lights flicker.  That means that if you
have neon lights on, you can get some serious interference between them and
the monitor that can potentially lead to headaches.  You might try using
incandescent lights (or no lights at all) as an experiment -- do your
headaches go away then?

   Thanks,
   --
