In the vt100, setup menu “B” had an interlace on or off setting.
I just looked it up.
That is almost certainly setting what type of signal is generated. Like a TV
of the same era, the monitor (display) portion doesn't care; it just displays
what it is sent. That is very different from a monitor setting that sets
either interlaced or non-interlaced.
Some reasons why you might prefer one over the other on the same screen:
non-interlaced would have a horizontal gap between displayed lines whereas
interlaced would fill them in. However, interlaced is more prone to
flickering, which can be very tiring to the eyes and cause headaches.
