Re: Progressive scan: Noticeable improvement, or minimal?

I have a progressive scan tv that takes a 480i signal and turns it into a 480p signal. It does a good job at it when the quality of the input signal is good, but often the source originating from the tv station itself is poor then the picture just gets uglier and full of artifacts.

What is good about progressive scan, is if you have a progressive scan component input and feed a progressive scan signal from a DVD like the Sony DVP-S9000ES, then the result is just amazing and you gain 43% more in resolution because you have to divide the amount of progressive lines you have by 0.7 to equate the interlace resolution. That is why Panasonic claims that their 720p HD equates Sony's original 1035i HD... 720/0.7=1028
