Well, I don't use window that much (maybe an hour a week), but I do use the 1024x768 (I borrowed a friend's interlaced for a few days) to preview on WordPerfect before sending the document to the laser printer. I noticed the top few lines of the 1024x768 interlaced is "funny", but considering there are 768 lines, a few at the top does not mean much. What I like to know is that is it *clearer* or *more detailed* on the noninterlaced? Also, what is the effect of interlaced after looking at it for a few hours? Do you get headache or dizziness?
