In Reply to: Progressive Cinema Scan for 3/2 Pulldown really needed ? posted by dgavrile on January 10, 2002 at 07:39:17:

You don't have to pay for anything you don't want. Does it make a difference? Hmmmmm....yes, if you have a good TV display that can use progressive scan video. Can you see the difference? On a big screen (40-inch or larger diagonal) - yes. DVD players with 3:2 detection are cheap - it's the displays that are expensive. If you watch a lot of movies you can see the difference. The picture display looks visibly "smoother." If you can't see it, don't pay for it - it's as simple as that.
