just ditched my 4 year-old samsung 19-inch for $200 27-inch panasonic TV. As you can see from the price, it's just a regular TV(not flat screen) with not many functions.but it does have inputs for components, s-video and composite.
now the question. can my tv take advantage of DVD progressive scan if connected to components input? I don't know if component input is all one needs to take advantage of progressive scan OR TV has to be fancier to take advantage of progressive scan...
answer would be appreciated! thanx in advance...

> components input?In a word, no. Your TV, unless a complete freak of technology and price points, is only capable of showing an interlaced picture. It's very odd that it has those inputs, but I don't think that it is going to benefit from them that much. Then again the other input connections may not work as well as the component ins...
If you want to test those inputs, I'd pick up some cables from a place that has a liberal return policy (read that as being no restocking fee) and check them out. Test them against a decent S-video cable. They might have an advantage over an S-cable (separation of the colors vs. separation of chroma and luminance) and you may like the appearance better; however, it won't be the difference between interlace and progressive scan.
If a DVD player has component video outputs, it will be one of three types: only progressive , only interlaced or both .Though they may exist, I don't know of any TVs that accept only interlaced component signals.
