Will a progressive scan dvd player work with any tv or do you need some special inputs on the tv? Does it make the picture noticebly better? Any recommended dvd models? Thanks in advance.
It will work with any TV, but you would probably want component or s-video inputs on the TV to realize any benefit. Some progressive scan players are better, others not, its not the technology but the application.
Sdcampbell is correct. While we're on the subject, I am looking to upgrade my DVD (Panasonic A310. I do not need progressive scan as my Loewe has a built in doubler. Looking for recommendations for best video quality, non-progressive scan model. Audio playback not an issue, since my HT and audio systems are separate.
Bmpnyc- now you've gone beyond my knowledge (I have no idea what 3/2 pulldown is) but have seen the term and would love an explanation. But I do know that the Loewe has an RGB/VGA input that I believe can accept a progressive scan signal. Anyways, I'm not ready to spend $1k and thought that a good quality non-prog scan model might be considered last generation technology and could be picked up at a good price on the used market. So any and all thoughts appreciated.
Dovetail- please post your results re: transcoder/p-scan DVD vs. interlaced DVD/Loewe doubler, or email me off-line. I am trying to get a handle on that situation right now.
