True, but rather irrelevant.  The ATI VGAwonder card won't do
1024x780 non-interlaced, regardless of the monitor.  It's 1024x780
mode is interlaced.  I've got one so this is first-hand data.

The Nec 3D does not claim 1024x780 non-interlaced.  Admitedly, the
ads tend to be a bit vague on the subject (what's new?), but the
manual that comes with the 3D is quite explicit about the 1024x780
mode being interlaced, albeit with an 87Hz frame rate instead of 60Hz,
so its a bit better than you might expect.
