Is an HDTV set required to maximise current DVD format?

24.201.231.215

A friend of mine just bought a samsung dynaflat hdtv. He did this because after asking the salesman "How can I get most benefit from dvd's?" the salesman told him he needed an hdtv set. I was unaware of this. I thought that most current non-hdtv sets are fully capable of displaying dvd's 500+ lines of resolution. So what is the benefit in having an hdtv set for dvd? Does progressive scan double the line output to 1000+ or something?

Thanks for any input
