Not really. On a CRT monitor, the odd lines fade before the even lines begin lighting up, and they are on different physical locations on the monitor. Recombination of the two images to improve resolution occurs entirely in the human vision processing system.

It's worth noting that this takes advantage of the human vision system's features. When an object moves quickly across your vision (for example, when turning your eyes quickly down a field), there is resolution loss that your brain makes up for, And when focusing on a still object, vision allows you to see more resolution.

So when a player runs across the camera view, your brain correctly processes the lower resolution and higher motion resolution. And when a player is still, your brain correctly processes the improved resolution.
