AFAIK, none of the IONs could reliably do Advanced 2X on 1080i at 60Hz.
You must be one of those who either have a good post-processing engine
on your TV, or run a lower quality deinterlacer, or are one of the fortunate(?)
ones that do not see (or are not bothered by) the observed issues referred to
as motion-blur/jitter/stutter/judder/jerkiness/jumpiness/shockiness that
some of us find as quite bothersome.  Since this is absolutely a personal
perception issue, some will see it, and some will not (just as some found
CRT 60Hz flicker a problem, and some never did).  I presume that there is
a good physiological reason some see the issue and some do not, but I'll
let the medical professionals deal with that.
