He said non-interlaced. You had to buy (an expensive after market) scan doubler to get rid of the flicker on the Amiga. Biggest mistake they made .. they should have included a true workstation class high resolution mono video mode.
Doing productivity apps on the Amiga in its highest resolution vs the Atari in its highest (monochrome) was no comparison.
The Atari did better in certain markets -- MIDI sequencing, big time, and to a much lesser extant DTP -- because of this.
But having that nice mono screen for productivity didn't make the ST a big success, so I don't think the original comment stands.
The Amiga was not a success because it wasn't an IBM PC.
