Correct, but a TV is intended for videos only. That's why it implements
only the lower HDMI standard.
Interlaced transmits only halve the lines with each frame, so a 60Hz
mode effectively either becomes a 30Hz mode, halving the vertical
resolution or adaptive motion compensated which the know visual
artifacts. Depending on what the deinterlacing setting on your TV is.
You could just add a progressive 1920x540@60 or 1920x1080@30 mode
manually and would have the same effect with probably better quality.
See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deinterlacing for reference.
If you can give us some more information what is happening when the
system freeze we could try to narrow this down, but we can't spend much
time on a very specific use case in a driver which is in maintenance mode.
Regards,
Christian.
