One problem I have been having is a Moiré pattern at higher resolutions when the pixels are clashing with the screen when photographing color screens.

I learned this long before I had a use for it, working at Motorola and observing what the advertising photographers did. This started to be a problem when Sylvania published ads saying "Actual TV picture," when everyone previously had ads with "Simulated TV picture."

By the way, for photos of sets that didn't need to show a real picture or were to show the set without a picture (turned off), they had a dulling spray for the face of the tube. No way would I fool around with that mess!

As for moire', you may have to experiment with how much to zoom so you don't actually resolve the phosphor dots too well. On the other hand, if you do resolve the dots, and don't see moire' when viewing full size but only when down-sized, then you may need to experiment with the downsizing software.
