I think there may be a bit of confusion here.
The artifacts being discussed are not caused by interlace per se, as in =
1080i.

They are due to less than perfect 'de-interlacing circuitry' in the TV.
I.E., the artifacts in the 'now progressive scan' image are caused by =
the=20
inability of the circuitry to deinterlace properly.

To catch interlace artifacts, you'd have to be looking at a scene with=20
motion.  LCD is slow, leaving visible motion blur.  DLP has what others=20
are calling "temporal dithering".  AND, very few sets with these=20
technologies have a native resolution of 1920x1080, so there's scaling=20
happening, on top of deinterlacing.

With all those factors taken into account, how can anyone possibly=20
conclude that the artifacts they're seeing are due to interlace?
