It could. But if the display is anything else than an old CRT, it will first deinterlace internally. LEDs and LCDs would give you headaches if they displayed alternating lines, as the "afterglow" effect of CRTs, retaining the line's content, is not present. Now, whether your deinterlacer or the display's is to be considered better, is up to you. (In my experience, there's a wide variation in the performance of scalers, both HW and SW. I assume the same is valid for deinterlacers.) But encoding/compressing interlaced content gives me a yucky feeling, I would always prefer encoding deinterlaced.
