Sorry if my earlier post mislead anyone on this point.  But the
above statement is only partially true:  Yes, a non-interlaced
monitor will generally display an image from an interlaced
source, but it may not get the interlace right.  That is, each
field will show on top of the other rather than vertically
offset (interlaced).

For viewing interlaced stereo images this is probably better
than true interlaced, but you certainly wouldn't want to run other
applications that way.
