While I find interlacing reprehensible, since there are interlaced formats that need to be displayed, couldn't displays be designed to display appropriate pixels at the appropriate time? Seems to me that it is just a matter of clocking in the right pixels at the right time, allowing a progressive or interlaced image to be displayed natively. I am sure I am showing my lack of knowledge in the architecture of bussing bits in the current display technologies. But it seems like something could be designed that way. Of course, it doesn't account for the different resolutions.

But I would add that it's possible that progressive source material would be less stressful to the bit-rate-reduction process.
