In Reply to: Is Progressive Scan DVD Player worth it? posted by Jonathan De Vito on June 23, 2000 at 16:36:30:
The biggest gain that you get is a reduction in various interlacing artifacts. The picture will seem a bit sharper and you won't, for example, see the "jaggies" on vertical lines as there is motion across the screen. As was said, you need to have a projector/tv that can accept and use a progressive input (computer monitor as one example). It also depends on the quality of your scaler/doubler as well and the video set-up. I'm using a Faroudja 2200 with a Sony 8" crt projector and I tried a progressive player from a dealer for kicks and didn't see any real improvement over the Faroudja (maybe slight but I'm not convinced of it). However, going progressive is a LOT LESS expensive than buying a Faroudja -- I did this a year ago when progressive wasn't really talked about much.If you use a small tv set like a computer monitor you're just not going to get much improvement to notice I suspect.
If you look at the last 2-3 issues of Widescreen Review there are several articles on this topic that you might find helpful and I believe that Stereophile Guide to HT has reviews in the most recent issue of two progressive players.
