4.4.4 LCD Interlaced display?

[Sman7215]

Again, this may be a newb question because I didn't use this tablet on any older software but I notice that when viewing close, the whole screen shows visible scan lines like an interlaced display.  This would be a technique that Sony could have used to get rid of the previous flicker in 4.4.2 and such as updating an interlaced display is faster at the expense of half-resolution updates.

At this point my old Acer A700 display looks better up close as it shows a contiguous image especially in areas of the same color.

Was this interlacing present on previous OS versions?

I think you are seeing depending on light the touch sensitive dots and lines and would have always been there

I really don't think so.  This interlacing can be seen in a dark room with no background lighting.  Yes I can see the touch surface at the right angle with backlighting but this has nothing to do with that.

What was supposed to be a great tablet display is turning into anything but.
