Hi, I know this sounds weird b/c MOST ppl would NOT want to force interlacing or have scanlines on a hi-res computer monitor, that's why nowadays ppl prefer progressive scan resolutions...
BUT personally, i found that scanlines is a effective way to eliminate jaggies (aliasing) in PC games. which is why i love it whne i play my pc games when hooked up to a CRT tv. it just looks so much nicer wthout all the jaggies. And this does it without any performance loss, and usually u can even play them on lower resolutions since there's not alot of aliasing.
One good example would be XBOX and PS2 games on traditional CRT tvs. I mean, when u play those games on tv, they look fairly OK (not alot of aliasing), especially the xbox games (640x480 resolution). BUT if you were to hook up the xbox to a PC monitor (or just simply look at screenshots taken on the pc monitor from say IGN) , they just look AWFUL, with jaggies so pronouced...
SO i'm trying to find if there's a video driver plugin or even a program that runs on windows that emulates scanlines.. I'm sure it's not TOO hard to program is one doesnt exist already...
I hope there's at least one of you who have experienced what i have
