Yes, you need a monitor with progresive scan capabilities to get the benefits of a prog. scan DVD player. Progressive scan gets rid of scan lines and would be a benefit to people with prog. scan TV's or projectors. Those lines are most noticable on bigger screens. Most prog. scan DVD players have standard component outs as well, so that if you buy a projector later you can use it then. I am waiting to see if Pioneer comes out with a new machine with prog.scan. Anyone have any info? I am not so sure that I did the right thing in buying a Pioneer DV-05 recently. Stay tuned.
Audaibnjad, thanks for the info, it is most enlightening. I was trying to generalize and simplify in my first post.
