Yes progressive IS better. No fancy terms, no lengthy theories on why, it is just better to watch than even component dvd. I would like to suggest a player if you do not mind....the Toshiba SD-9100. You can find them second hand for around $500. Well worth the money. You won't de disappointed.
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.
