Just in case people following this discussion about the flicker problem with
interlaced monitors think that all users of them are suffering, let me 
say that I use 2 such, including the machine that I'm using right now, and 
there is absolutely no flicker at all.  They are both IBM 8514 monitors, one
of them the color monitor and the other the large monochrome.  Furthermore
I know 3 other people that use them, and they do not notice any flicker 
either.  One of the reasons I think, is that these monitors have a slowly
reacting phosphorus that minimizes the flicker.  The other may be that flicker
is noticeable to some people and not to others, at least that was mentioned 
recently in an article in PC Magazine (I think it was PCMag..).
