A friend of mine just bought a samsung dynaflat hdtv. He did this because after asking the salesman "How can I get most benefit from dvd's?" the salesman told him he needed an hdtv set. I was unaware of this. I thought that most current non-hdtv sets are fully capable of displaying dvd's 500+ lines of resolution. So what is the benefit in having an hdtv set for dvd? Does progressive scan double the line output to 1000+ or something?Thanks for any input

- Yes, and only an HDTV will let you display a DVD @ 1800x960i from your computer...quite stunning! nt - Methos 13:15:30 11/14/02 (0)
