Better than mine? ;)
Such filtering is probably masking the poor downscaling algorithm. The
downscaling should filter according to the ratio, instead you do it manually
beforehand.

That is interference between the 67 Hz screen update and the true readout
frequency of the LCD. Ideally they are the same, see the thread about fps
testing.

It's because of the way the halftoning works, see above. I need to modulate
the pixels as fast as possible, and the highest I can get is the LCD scan
rate itself.
