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. -----Original Message----- From: opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of John Golitsis Sent: Monday, January 10, 2005 10:13 AM To: opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [opendtv] Re: Spam Filter? 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?
