That would be true.. IF the vertical sweep freq. is increased while in
interlace, right?  (from the normal 60Hz (field rate), 30Hz per frame)

Now that you mention it, the 3D can also go up to 90 Hz vertical so maybe
a 768 interlaced display at 90 Hz wouldn't flicker? (that'd be 45Hz frame 
rate)  Am I remembering all this video sweep stuff correctly?  It's been
about 12 years. ;^)
