I just got my Prism 2 days ago. After reading all of the posts on this board about screen flicker, red dot and syncing, I was quick to notice that my Prism flickers too. I played with the brightness adjustment as well as the 1/1/1904 date change trick to adjust the contrast. It still flickers. Should I exchange this one for another or do they all flicker to some degree? This seems to be the only problem with this unit. Also, I am curious about the new Sony Clie color model and am wondering how long it will be until it is available as a second option. All comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
Brad

You should try to change the contrast again
Good luck!

I went through three units, and all of them flickered. A rep. at Handspring's technical support told me that the flicker is typical with all Prisms. If you adjust the brightness--not contrast--above the halfway mark, the flicker will be less noticeable. The brighter the screen, the less noticeable the flicker.
