Such monitors can percipitate moire because of the aliasing between the scanlines and phosphor dots. Since the spot size is small, there is little filtering effect. That is kind-of a case of the quality (focus) being too good. Some high-end monitors do have an anti-moire adjustment that allows selection of spot-size, which translates to a spatial low pass filter. -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com
