In Reply to: Will a TV with "progressive scan" make up for... posted by newtoHT on July 28, 2002 at 21:13:18:

The TV won't make up for it, yes it's worth the extra $50 for PS. If your TV is good enough that it has the capability for PS inputs, you owe yourself to get a DVDP that does it. Almost always best to do the processing at the source, and the TV can't do the PS anyway, as (for now) the DVDP does not present what might be called a true raw data format that the TV can interpret (and decide it was progressively scanned).

That said, I have seen S-video output that beats some PS/component output from the same DVDP on the same display (could have been cables, so many variables). As usual, implementation counts...
