If this is the kind of argument | that is being used, I think the industry is putting something over on us. For a good example of interlace flicker, watch the Neptune transmissions being shown on TV. The left 2/3 of the screen is an image of the planet. on the right is what appears to be a bar-chart histogram. The bars are probably one scan line thick, white bars on a black background. The interlace flicker is VERY noticable. -- Jim Wright jwright@atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu
