I looked at the Commodore monitor today at my friendly local Kmart;
used with a commodore 64 (I don't know if it has separate luminance and
chroma outputs) the flicker was UNBEARABLE. I couldn't adjust it away...
Is this a problem with this monitor, or is the C64 not a good test machine
for it? The sharpness was excellent, which leads me to believe that
the luma/chroma WAS separate. If it weren't for the flicker, I would
consider one for use with my 800.
By the way, does the 1702 take standard composite video through the front
panel jack? The salesperson was, ahem, not exactly on top of things.
