Could you tell if the focus is good enough to show 1152x910 Linux/X when
you do not mind the flicker? Howabout 1024x1024? Can you adjust 1024x1024
to be a square?

Is the screen surface etched or coated?

I have been waiting to buy Compaq's or Zeniths Flat monitor if they are
good enough. The resolution question is one and the other is if they can
sync vertically high enough to achieve reasonable INTERLACED frame rates
in high resolutions. Eg. 1152x910 at 60 Hz (120 Hz frame rate) interlaced
is much better than 60 Hz noninterlaced. But I am afraid they have not had
enough thoughts to ergonomy (compare to Philips which pushes their 160 Hz
sync capability in their adds.)
