Well, *my* 3D is just fine -- but I only use it in 800x600.  But in that mode
it's steady, it's  sharp, it's got great colours, and the memory function works
perfectly.

Why don't I use 1024x768?  Three main reasons:
	- The 3D is too small for 1024x768
	- 1024x768 is too slow -- too many pixels to move around!
Yeah, there's some flicker, too, but that wasn't the deciding factor.
