progressive scan can virtualy double the vertical scaning lines. Yes the picture is noticable better when used with component video connections and used with a HDTV ready t.v. No HDTV ready t.v. then you will get NO benifits using a progressive scan player. Mitsubishi DD-6001 is a nice progressive scan player that incorporates HDCD decoding for audio cd's as well. Good luck
Progressive DVD players?
I am going to purchase a new DVD player and am considering the Sony S7700 (being discontinued). I don't own an HDTV, or HDTV ready, TV that can take advantage of progressive scan, but I will probably purchase one in the near future. Is the quality of progressive scan pictures that much better? I will use the unit 70% for music, 30% for DVD. I am interest in your thoughts on the different players out there.
