The Dreamcast certainly has very good anti-flicker filter that seems to work
brilliantly - we didn't have to worry about horizontal white lines at all -
they just work. IIRC, the PS1 has none, and horizontal lines flicker badly.
I don't know about any of the other next-gen consoles, but I assume they
have some sort of filtering.

But it's only recently been a problem - most older consoles only ran at
320x240 anyway, so horizontal lines were on both fields, and didn't flicker
(nearly as much).
