Older TVs will likely have a low horizontal resolution (~250 lines). New Standard Definition TVs have 650 - 800. DVD video is stored in a 480-line format. However, DVD players convert this signal to an interlaced (to over simplify, leaving out alternating lines) format, so that it is compatible with standard resolution televisions. Recently progressive scan DVD players have come out, which offer a non-interlaced image (the true 480 lines per frame, the SDTV resolution called 480p) which increases picture clarity and essentially removes picture flicker.
Summary: You would need a TV with component inputs to take advantage of Progressive Scan. Many new SDTVs have component Video Inputs.
