also be interested in the amount of RAM that’s installed. I like 32G as a minimum (I have 32G RAM on my Macbook, 64G of RAM on my PC).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">An old trick I used to use was to reduce the resolution on the monitor which would then cause most of the screen to automatically zoom. The flicker is from the FPS on the monitor and magnification - at least
that's my guess. I would try lowering monitor resolution THEN magnifier and THEN color swap. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
