Toshiba SD-900E progressive output is worse than interlaced?

Posted by chris.redmond2@bushinternet.com (R) on November 15, 2006 at 09:54:49

I've tried progressive scan for the first time this week and once activated I can see horizontal lines of 'noise' around objects during rapid movement which isn't there during interlaced.

Also, when watching 'Terminator 2' the progressive picture is less detailed and appears to soften the picture considerably, making fine detail appear slightly out of focus when compared to interlaced.

I'm viewing on a HD ready Panasonic Viera 42" plasma and am wondering if this modern display is revealing some limitation in the Toshiba which is quite dated so far as video technology goes.

Don't get me wrong, the interlaced video quality is superb and nothing to complain about, but I expected progressive to be a further step forward and am quite perplexed why it should be a step backwards instead.

Anyone know what's going on here?

Best Regards,
Chris redmond.
