Well a smaller monitor won't mean less flicker but it will mean a smaller picture :D

My Sony monitor is a 24". It all depends on the circuitry of the monitor ie the electron beams and the screen etc.

I just checked my WinUAE setup and indeed I run it at 640x480 @ 50Hz and don't experience flickering that makes games unplayable like you mentioned.

Your either going to have to live with playing Amiga games at 100Hz (PAL) or invest in a new monitor, preferably one with a Sony FD Trinitron Tube ie Dell P1130/HP P1130 is the most common.
