Display oversampling is GOOD.
I have often used the following explanation of this as it relates to
the differences between computer and TV displays. Computer displays
have traditionally used Non-Nyquist filtered imagery (although modern
graphics kernels in Mac OS-X and Windoze are beginning to use
filtering to make images look more TV-like).
Thus it is fair to say that a computer display is ALSO a TV display
at half the resolution, when filtering is taken into consideration.
The good news is that we can also use non-Nyquist filtering to
present graphic, web content, etc. on modern progressive TV displays
using lithographed technologies to accurately produce a raster of any
given resolution.
