My 3000 looks fine to me.  What you probably see is the bouncing problems of
the original 1950 monitors..

As for the toaster ad, NTSC jitters as a matter of specification.  I find
all computer generated graphics/animations on NTSC to display this effect,
whether the were generated on a Chiron 5 Character Generator or a Pixar or
IRIS.  I even notice jitter and motion aliasing on live video from a camera.

Also, you should know better than to throw tidbits like, "or a video toaster
ad on tv".  Now you're gonna have to tell us ALL about it.  :-)
