This is not so much a question of screen with as of the actual pixel
resolution. With the current font, all horizontal lines are at least
two pixels high. If there are horizontal lines that are only one pixel
in height, that might cause very annoying flicker, since the picture
is interlaced. I tried that once and it wasn't very good. But maybe
you can come up with a smaller font that doesn't flicker...
