There is little doubt in my mind that the Amiga could have had much better
resolution than it already does, but the tradeoff would have been non-NTSC
standard.  This means that not only could the Amiga not be plugged into
a TV and features like GENLOCK would be much more expensive.  A distinct
advantage of being NTSC standard is that not only can input from a video
camera be mixed in, but the output can be recorded on standard video tape.

Blame for the flicker in interlace mode should be placed on the NTSC standard,
not the Amiga.  NTSC is not exactly the best quality video standard anyway.
