I never understood why anyone would want interlaced mode. Can someone enlighten me?

  It doubled the amount of lines that could be displayed on screen back in the day. It usually doesn't look that bad if there aren't any thin horizontal lines imo

    Yes now that you say it. It was possible to go higher on VGA also and get dithering. And it was also the case for the vieeo out on composite or svideo. The result was barerly readable mud.

  The biggest value is when you are emulating hardware that output to such a display. Often the designers of software (especially games) optimized their art for the display. Castlevania Symphony of the night is one of my more favored examples of this, look up a crt-lcd comparison Aside from thqt, maybe artistic looks for new video...

  People notice flicker below about 50Hz. So two 1/2-frames at 60 Hz gives flicker-free viewing of 30 fps video. The “light chaser phenomenon” kicks in at 15 Hz, so that is the minimum full-frame rate for the illusion of smooth motion.
