The Hitachi product line tends to have excellent resolution and 
consequently suffers from the moire problem.  The workaround is to
turn on the moire reducing option (which simply defocuses the electron
beam a little bit) and adjust with the horizontal and vertical screen
size to minimize the moire.  If that isn't enough, you can experiment
with changing the resolution to something slightly different from
1280x1024  (e.g. 1280x960 or 1360x1020).
