1) Does it worth to buy a relatively expensive TV with Progressive scan TV if I have a DVD without Progressive scan output ?
I.e. can TV take advantage on the interlaced DVD output and transform it to a progressive frames ?2) Is Progressive scan TV capability better than 100Hz (Super or Advanced) Digital Scan ?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel.
Follow Ups:
1) Most digital TVs include deinterlacers, which do a good to excellent job. They're still a bit behind the best deinterlacing available with DVD players for the time being.2) I'm not familiar with that term. Who's marketing with that term, and is this a European model by chance? It sounds like it as PAL is 25frames/second if memory serves me correctly.
Now the big question is will the expense be worth it to you? Only you can answer the value equation.

Thanx,
Yes, it’s marketing hype.
Here in Europe for example PANASONIC sells:
TX- 29AK40 with so called “Advanced Progressive Scan”, and the extra gadget called “Dynamic Digital motion”. No mentioning about 100Hz scanning (probably progressive san covers the 100Hz functionality)There are cheaper models, with so called “100Hz Super Digital Scan”.
There are also evena cheaper models with simple “100Hz Scan”
I don’t know actually what’s the difference ;-(Estimated price differences:
100Hz Scan + 8 bit resolution: 600-800 USD (I don’t remember)
100Hz Super Digital Scan 8 bit resolution: 700-1000 USD (TX- 29AS10)
Advanced Progressive Scan + Dynamic Digital motion + 10 bit resolution 1300-1500 USD (TX- 29AK40)Also Sony sells:
100Hz: 700 USD ( KV- 29FX 66 K)
100Hz Digital Plus: (I don’t remember)
Advanced 100Hz Digital Plus: 1300-1500 USD ( KV- 32FX 65 K)
DRC (Digital Reality Creation): > 1500 USD ( KV- 29FQ 75 K)
Digital Reality Creation stands for replicate high definition picture from standard tv signal (sort of vertical and horizontal resolution doubler)Do you know if Digital Reality Creation is a progressive scan equivalent?
I haven’t seen a progressive DVD player so I cannot value versus a TV progressive capable.
1)
My question is if I use with a non-progressive DVD and having a progressive image with the TX- 29AK40 or an equivalent model?.2) Can I use the TV progressive image capability to play other sources as cable TV, for example?
3) Does it matter the 8 bit resolution versus 10 bit?
