We used a color TV with our computers until we got a Commodore 1702. My grandmother got another system that she gave to me eventually, so I was using that for many, many years. When we got the Amiga we bought a Sony Trinitron (believe it was a PVM-1390 or something very similar). All was well until we got the 3000 and couldn't use the flicker fixer. I had monitor hell after that, since using a regular VGA monitor also had its limitations--seems like you needed a "multiscan" monitor or some such, and I never had one.
At any rate, that artifacting thing sounds fascinating. Wish I understand it better on a technical level.
