Soundgarden

(A)

Had bought A new Panasonic DVD player and hooked it up to my Phillips HDTV monitor's Progressive Inputs (480P) and watched a few DVDs and the picture was fine. Then last night as I watched Master and Commander I started noticing lines flickering across the screen. I thought it was the disc so I tried another and then another and they all had the same thing. Now i'm not sure if the problem is the DVD players outputs or the Phillips progressive inputs. Interlace pictures were fine when swithched around from the progressive on both DVD player and monitor. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated on what the problem might be.
Thanks, Rick

philips have another set of 480p/1080i component inputs to try ?
does the interlaced image have the same problem now ?
even cheapy cables will be able to determine if it is the cabling or the monitor.

  Set the DVD player to Enable and 480P out. Connected to the HD input on the Phillips. Picture was great for the first 3 movies before the flickering white lines started appearing during certain scenes. Went back and double checked all the settings to make sure they were still the same which they were. Now it does it on every DVD and I'm starting to wounder if it's a compatability issue between the Phillips and Pany even though I put a call into Panasonic and they said no yet gave me no reason for the problem. ( I think their clueless there).

    Which Philips do you have? I have the 46" widescreen one.
    FWIW I tried using progressive scan on my DVD player and I didn't think it looked as good as the interlaced did hooked up to the component video input on the tv. My friend thought the same thing????

      I have a Phillips 34" Direct view HDTV. The interlace does look good but when the progressive was working right I thought it was even better, more film like ( smooth, vivid colors). I did return the DVD player today and the new unit is doing the same thing. So I'm thinking now it could be the TV or the compatability issue I mentioned. I'm leaning towards the TV because this problem doesn't seem to be experienced by others from feedback here and calls made to Panasonic and Phillips.
