Re: Can I and should I go Progressive?

The AVS forum has several current threads on just these topics. Short answer is RP82 for $200, you can see the various HT A/V site "authorities" suggest this too, vs much more expensive players and line doublers. A line doubler in a projector has to work a lot harder to match a good one in a DVDP, most don't, some in very expensive projectors do and surpass them. Progressive output is always component and uses RCA connectors. You could easily make/acquire an adapter. I would not be surprised if regular DB15 to 5 sets of RCA connector video cables would work for the pass-through, but don't know...

My experience is the RP82 looks just as good in interlaced as progressive, and sometimes the interlaced looks a tiny tiny bit better. There is also a very recent thread on that on HT SPot in the Panny forum.

Bottom line: most video stuff a year old has been surpassed by something better for roughly half the price. That's the way it goes in some advanced tech arenas.
