I ordered a VS3100 with the Sony monitor (16") (same as used on the Sun) because
I thought the other ones were sub-optimal. Very crisp, true colors, et cetera.
I can only assume that you can get them for the DS3100's too. 

A 19" version, with higher resolution, is now available as an SPX option, but
I don't think its made it to the DECstation world yet.

As a suggestion to your problem, the flicker is more noticable for lighter
colors. My suggestion (which seem s to work) is to use a darker ones for the
backgrounds. It doesn't hurt the eyes as much since the flicker is less 
noticable.
