Correction... your CRT is 99% likely a *progressive* display.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_scan
"Progressive scan (also known as: P-Scan) is used for most cathode ray  
tube (CRT) computer monitors, all LCD computer monitors, and most  
HDTVs as the display resolutions are progressive by nature."

I can't remember the last time I used an interlaced computer display.  
Maybe my Apple //c from 1985. I hope his CRT isn't that old.
