This is not such a great bother, though, since the > 1024X768 mode flickers so badly that I rarely use it. Well, *my* 3D is just fine -- but I only use it in 800x600. But in that mode it's steady, it's sharp, it's got great colours, and the memory function works perfectly. Why don't I use 1024x768? Three main reasons: - The 3D is too small for 1024x768 - 1024x768 is too slow -- too many pixels to move around! Yeah, there's some flicker, too, but that wasn't the deciding factor.
