To catch interlace artifacts, you'd have to be looking at a scene with motion. LCD is slow, leaving visible motion blur. DLP has what others are calling "temporal dithering". AND, very few sets with these technologies have a native resolution of 1920x1080, so there's scaling happening, on top of deinterlacing. With all those factors taken into account, how can anyone possibly conclude that the artifacts they're seeing are due to interlace?
