As a counterexample my first PC monitor had nothing like that. It was a

The Pro also has such a thing in its video card. I
I remember the VT100 interlace setting. Yes, it changed the signal
generated. I don't know if it also changed the characteristics of the
monitor but I would think not.
It gave slightly higher resolution (the expectation would be double but the
tube didn't have focus that good) at the cost of a hor

The setup on the earlier monitors was sometimes call “ODB” , don‘t know why.
Was equivalent to setup.

VT100? I don't think so. And yes, it has a setup menu, but that's setup of

The pc monitors, not Tv, always had a setup menu. Even the Vt100 series let you
choose interlace if you needed.

Wayne, you must be one of those thirty-something techies from another thread.
for those of us in our 60s and 70s,
setup mode? huh? old TVs and monitors were purely analog. No on-screen
displays and non-volatile memory bytes for setup. adjustments for size and
position were rheostats. i
IIRC, didn’t most older pc monitors have a setup mode where one of the options
was interlace or non-interlace.

I think you have that backwards.
TVs use interlace. Older PC displays may do so, or not; typically the 480 line
format was not interlaced but there might be high resolution modes that were.
The reason was to deal with bandwidth limitations.
Flat panel displays normally support a pile of input
This may have been covered before, VERY early in this tread.
I think I tried a game on a flatscreen, and had issues. I don't know if it
applies to the radio shack Color Computer, the interest of the original poster.
