- I'm curious about this. I've worked as a software engineeer in computer
- graphics with engineering workstations since 1983 and I've seldom used
- anything smaller than 17 inch, and typically the ones I've used have
- been larger. I have *never* seen a moire pattern problem with a
- monitor. Since a moire pattern is an interference pattern, what is
- the interference between?
-
- I have seen various kinds of convergence and focus and other adjustment
- problems but I can't say that they seem to be worse on bigger monitors
- in my experience.
