Interlaced modes are flagged by the sync having a half-width H pulse, and there is a VESA standard somewhere about them requiring double-pulses before and after Vsync. In...

There is no easy way short of better (ie rather complicated) circuits to restore the pulses. lm1881 chips promise composite sync out, but all they really do is strip the video content off (and also strip aforementioned smushy sync negative Hsync pulses during Vsync interval), they don't actually re-create...

TO cut a long story short: most likely the Pi is generating its own composite sync from combining H&V sync, rather than creating it separately. This is actually pretty difficult to do properly, and even the better methods (eg XNOR logic gate based) still tend to leave "glitches" where...

If the set has a horizontal hold pot, you can normally adjust that. The PVM-2730 also has a "distortion correct" pot that might help too.

I wonder if a larger vertical blanking interval would help, but that might be for PC only as you'd have to set it in the modeline.
