Are scanlines a result of interlacing?

Hrmm, are scanlines a result of interlacing or a inherent property of certain display technologies?

 

[conjur]

Not due to interlacing. On an anamorphic DVD displayed in 480p on my HDTV I can still see scan lines if I'm close enough.

You might want to try www.doom9.net to check out. I think it's telecined. Correct me if I am wrong.

Telecine is, essentially, a process of transferring a film to, say, DVD and matching the frame rate of film (24) to that of NTSC (29.97).

Are you thinking of the comb-tooth artifacts that you get when you capture video with a vertical resolution greater than 240?

Hrmm, on the Sony Wega XBR CRT sets, the coloring of the object being displayed would appear solid and "complete". On another, let's say a lower end GE CRT set, the same picture would have distinct lines running through. This all observable about 4 feet away.

More resolution (or better ability to resolve) in higher end sets then?

EDIT: I'm basing my observations from a feed (probably crappy and split) at a BestBuy. No real HiFi stores near me so went there just to check out some things. Also, is telecine then the same as 3:2 pulldown or "film-mode"?

I am not an expert. I usually convert my digital video to 640X480 with decomb filter.
