I see.

What about the black bars on the right and left of the monitor? Is the image supposed to fill out the entire monitor, or is it normal to have 1.5" bars on the right and left?

No flicker! So I suppose everything is working properly? Nothing to see here?

What resolution should I run this monitor at? Is 800x600 ok or should I keep it at 640x480?

Is this experienced with every resolution?  Have you ever had this monitor up and running properly on a gameboard?  You should be able to adjust these away with the horizontal size control.  If you can't, then there may be an issue with the monitor.

That, or 720x480 would be best, if offered.

720x480 would be non-square pixels (so things will look a bit squished horizontally), though it would let you cram a little more onto the screen.  The reports I've heard also indicate that the AVGA's flicker is reduced in this resolution compared to 640x480 for reasons not strictly related to the actual resolution.

I'd not recommend 800x600 if flicker/eye strain is a concern.  640x480 would probably be the most "correct" resolution for this monitor above 320x240, but 720x480 is not appreciably different aside from the things noted above.

Andy over and ultrimarc and I have talked at length about this with this specific monitor, what you need to do is adjust your screen size H pos,V pos,V size, for 640x480 then all your other resolutions will be more or less correct "up to .5 black bar's on top or sides of picture", at 640x480 you MAY get some over-scan at the top or bottom of the screen you can use the 50/60z pot on the monitor main board to adjust it out, be careful it is very sensitive and just a little bit will do you.

As others have said the flickering is from interlacing, there is no way to get rid of it for some people it's not bad for others instant migraine it just depends on the person i run my desktop and FE at 320x240 and it's crystal clear and if i need to make any adjustment's then i pop it up to 640x480, the only time the resolution bother's me is in street fighter 4, I'm trying to find a way to lock that game to a certain resolution but so far it always play's at whatever my desktop resolution is.

Thanks...

I can adjust the vertical by adjusting 2 different knobs. 1 of the knobs allows me to stretch the image and the other knob allows me to recenter the image. But for horizontal, I only can recenter the image and both the left and right portions of the monitors with black bars are unaccessible. Is there another horizontal knob somewhere which will allow me to stretch the horizontal size of the image to fill out the complete monitor?

As for resolution, I don't think I have a skin that is 320x240 so I'm going to try 640x480. I tried the 320x240 resolution that Malenko suggested and it works great. I will finish configuring Mame and see how it does. I appreciate everyones suggestion and help.
