VLC always looks interlaced no matter the content

Whatever i watch, even if the content isn't interlaced, the output always looks interlaced. Attached are 2 examples, a movie and a youtube video, both having the same issue.

I tried resetting my preferences (in menu and by deleting ~/.config/vlc), and I tried disabling hardware acceleration.

This defect has appeared about a month ago.

I'm on arch linux, latest updates for everything etc.
