Non-progressive-scan DVD player

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

I have a low-end Toshiba DVD player. It doesn't have progressive-scan. I
realize progressive-scan players have really come down in price; however,
I'm curious: How would a non-progressive-scan player look on (say) a
widescreen DLP TV?

If its a DTV with superior analog to digital converters and 3:2 conversion
for 24fps material it will look better than just about any progressive scan
player. DVD is interlaced after all.

Yes, a non progressive scan DVD player will output 480i. Does your player
have component outputs (3 cable connection)? If not, then you should
definitely invest in a new player.

I dont know about on a DLP, but my non-progressive scan player looks
fantastic on my 56" JVC HDTV. I can't tell a difference between that and my
HDTV broadcast from my cable company and dont really see a need to get a
progressive scan player.
