I think you should see

which explains that this isn't true.

The TV out of your video card should be interlaced anyway; your TV
requires it. The interlaced modes would only affect VGA or DVI output.

I did try a 50 Hz interlaced mode with the new driver and there was no
obvious difference at all. (I'm using PAL output because I'm in
Australia.)
