Robk- Jedisqueezer is not quite right. Your TV has to support progressive scan (420p, I think). HDTV is 1080i. Most HDTV's support 420p, and there are some TV's that do not support 1080i but will display a progressive scan picture.
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.
