Re: Progressive scan: Noticeable improvement, or minimal?

I may be wrong, but I don't believe that progressive gains any resolution over interlaced from what I've read. It improves on image by removing (actually, by not adding) artifacts attributable to interlacing the image. However, you are still left with the same number of scan lines using a progressive scan approach -- it simply delivers them as a single frame instead of two, interlaced frames. Thus, 480p and 480i have the same "resolution" but one is prone to certain artifacts that the other isn't.
