Is it worth upgrading DVD to progressive scan?


I just purchased an HDTV with the ability to play progressive scan (480p). I currently own a Yamaha regular DVD player. Is progressive scan really worth upgrading to or should I wait on HDDVD?

In a nutshell......... YES!!!!!!! In fact, if you have a 16:9 HDTV Widescreen Television, you can get a good progressive scan player for peanuts right now. You can get either a used Pioneer Elite DV-37 for about $400.00 to about $450.00, or you can get a used Sony DVP-S9000ES for about $700.00. Right now, you cannot go wrong with these two players. Either of these two players ought to serve you well until the new HD DVD Players hit the market in about two years or so. Until that happens, these two ought to do until then.

Good Luck.........
