Aliasing on computer monitors at DVinfo.net

Has anyone noticed whether the F3 presents particular problems aliasing with computer screens? We shoot a lot of that in Silicon valley here so it could be a big $$'s issue for me.
I'll test it myself this week but wondering what other people have found.
Particularly anyone who has a Red or Alexa who could post whether there is a difference.

I tried the F3 next to an EX-1 looking at a Macbook Pro lap top screen. There was a bit more aliasing from the F3 , but how much worse its hard to say. It wasn't hard to throw a hair out of focus and still look OK.
Also I only saw it when in close on the screen itself, nothing from a shot that just had a screen in it. Probably not even an over the shoulder. All in all not much worse than every other camera I've ever used - but - still perhaps a little bit worse. Detail circuit didn't seem to make much difference.
