The 16" does support 1024x768 interlaced.  I know about the flicker
problem.  It should not bother if you use it for say...  WP preview
only.

$899 compared to $623?  Hhhmmm...

Nop!  Watch my TV about 8 to 10 feet away.  By the way, I don't
think you should watch TV at 3-4 feet, ha, ha.  The reason I use the
19" at 2 feet is that with X-window on a Sun Sparc station, I set the
font very small so I can see many lines on the screen at the same time.
About 100 lines.
