I have a high-res, high-refresh CRT monitor that I'd like to use for active-shutter 3D. One issue I've read, though, is that because of phosphor decay, "ghosting" can be a problem on CRTs (where the left-eye image isn't gone yet when the right-eye image is being drawn). One way I can think of solving this would be to use some sort of device between the input signal and the monitor to trick the monitor into hesitating longer before drawing each frame (in technical terms, increasing the vertical blanking time).

Basically, how impossible would it be to use a raspberry pi to convert a 100 Hz signal (100 frames per second, drawn the usual way) into a "160 Hz" signal (still 100 frames per second, but drawn faster to leave more time for blanking between frames)? Obviously it would add some input lag, but I wouldn't mind that. I'm just curious if my idea is too complicated/fundamentally retarded for me to pay someone a few hundred dollars to put together some day.

my other idea was to convert a 100 Hz signal into a 200 Hz signal with a raspberry pi, with black frames inserted between each actual frame to leave more time for phosphor decay. Would this be dramatically easier to do?
