Gaming - 720p or 1080i? - View Post

I confirm. Also, people with more sensitive eyes, could perceive flicker in the outer visual field looking at interlaced still images, as flicker stimulates the eye quite like (**) a fast oscillating motion (*). Slow motion is where interlaced behaves best because time integration made by the eye smoothes interlacing flaws, while isn't fast enough to generate undersampling artefacts.

(*) Emergency vehicles' beacons are almost always blue because human outer visual field, although low res, is more sensitive to blue and fast motion, so you can perceive them fast approaching better.

(**) The appearance is similar, but flicker is much more tiring for the eye than watching true motion.
