Interlacing destroys color

[lnx64]

Same program, same TV.

I've noticed this for all TV's.. Basically, even on a color bar generator that allows both interlaced and non-interlaced, at least to my eyes, I've noticed that the color bars look better when non-interlaced/progressive scan.

I don't know if it has to do with the phosphors in a line getting 1/2 less the beam or what, but it just seems the colors seem more dull (or darker).

It could though very well be just my imagination.
