Did you read the article? Interlace is not an user choice like brightness or volume. It is part of the legacy Television standards both in North America and Europe. High definition Video does not need interlace and interlace jut makes things harder that needed and impairs visual quality. It was intended to be helpful in low-bandwidth low resolution systems with CRT displays. That is now history.If you format a video for view on standard TV, it will have interlace. No choice. Only a few formats offer a choice. It has almost no worth in LCD. Do you need to know why?
