Yup, any LCD TV will do this.

TV or monitor? My LCD monitor flickers terribly in Hires lace.

Weird... LCD's don't need to be refreshed (a pixel stays lit until told to do otherwise) unlike CRT phosphors that fade out. PAL will always flicker i bit due to its 50Hz nature.

With my Samsung LCD TV/Monitor, with a CD32 connected via the S-video input, Interlace IMHO doesn't flicker more than non-lace, however some 'weird' artifacts (similar to when using a flickerfixer) do appear (ghosting of the mouse pointer when moved). It even did Super Hires Interlace really good, clear text and everything.

But, as anything else, personal opinions and varying mileage with different monitors are important factors here.

@vic20owner:
Are you using a scandoubler on your A1200, or does the monitor support 15kHz?

My LCD TV/Monitor has both VGA, SCART, S-video and Composite input, I'm using S-video right now (best available signal from a stock CD32). I guess the TV/Monitor maybe has some sort of flickerfixer on the TV bit.... don't know. All I know is that it won't accept 15kHz input on the VGA connector (complains about it being an 'unsupported mode') whereas Amiga RGB on the SCART works...
