If the scan-lines were over the corresponding ones from the previous
field, you would not expect to get worse flicker, rather you have an
approximation of non-interlace. If, however, there was a substantial
vertical offset between the odd and even fields, severe flicker would
appear. If you had been feeding composite sync to the monitor (as used
by the 1080) there could have been interaction with the complicated
vertical sync region (designed for cheap valve sync circuits when I was
but a lad). All I can offer is that the unit is iffy, OR it has
significantly brighter output. Flicker is strongly brightness
dependant.
