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?

If your set has a really good line doubler then there is only a slight difference going to progressive. I'd say the image is more film-like. I use the Panasonic RP91 with progressive feeding my Pioneer Elite. The Pioneer has a very good doubler so the difference is slight but it is better using the DVD player in progressive mode. It's close though. Hope this helps.
