Actually 420p isn't as hi-rez as 1080i but close. There are excellent benefits to going progressive scan, as I'm about to do myself. Why not future proof as much as possible.
Progressive DVD players?
I am going to purchase a new DVD player and am considering the Sony S7700 (being discontinued). I don't own an HDTV, or HDTV ready, TV that can take advantage of progressive scan, but I will probably purchase one in the near future. Is the quality of progressive scan pictures that much better? I will use the unit 70% for music, 30% for DVD. I am interest in your thoughts on the different players out there.
