To utalizePro.scan Dvd you need HDTV.The standard scan rate for reg.tv is 15.HDTV the scan rate is 31.End of story.And lets get real; HBO's sat brodcast in hd KILLS what you see on dvd.
Audaibnjad, thanks for the info, it is most enlightening. I was trying to generalize and simplify in my first post.
You may consider the Pioneer DV434 progressive scan ouput which is about $299.00 or if you have a PC-DVD then you should get the RealMagic Hollywood Plus Progressive Scan output DVD decoder card price about $39.00. This will output movie exactly in the DVD's 720x480 non-interlace format, either ways you'll be supprise with the film like picture of the progressive scan system.
