Maybe it's necessary to adjust the refresh rate in the viewer programs. With 60Hz refresh the image is still very flicker free. This is something most users of a PAL machine don't know: NTSC with 60Hz is much superior if absence of flicker has priority. It's really a big difference, and the extra 4Hz are not really needed. But as I said, there should be an effect on NTSC machines as well, and on all monitors that work at 60Hz, 64Hz also wasn't a problem. My PAL 1702 would even go to something like 70Hz if I adjusted the VHOLD pot :-) I tried it, but I didn't calculate the actual refresh rate.
