Thanks for the pointer, i'll take a good look at it.
Luckily the interlaced CRT televisions are being phased out and soon we'll only have nice progressive panels and projectors. Just waiting for the 1080p @ 50Hz broadcasts ;)
... to be replaced with a different set of issues around HDMI, MPEG4, WMV9, DRM etc.
I'm thinking about making a jump to the new generation but when I look closely at the specs for LCDs and Plasmas I've yet to find a model that says that it really does a native 50Hz display for VGA or DVI. The detailed spec sheets for every model that i've looked at all quote a 60Hz vertical refresh rate for the digital inputs. I'd love to be proved wrong, but for now i'll be sticking to my SD CRT.
