Look under QT prefs to see if "use high quality render when available" is checked.

If you're viewing interlaced footage on a computer's progressive display, you'll see jagged lines as the fields get squashed together. This won't happen on a broadcast monitor.
In addition, if the file can't be played at 1:1 resolution to the computer display, then any scaling on either interlaced or progressive material can introduce artifacts with any player.
