Help me out here guys cause I have no idea

Ok, progressive scan DVD players are more spendy then a regular $20 target special DVD player, just wondering if my TV can take advantage of it or what it is actually.

Just picked up this TV last night for a niiiice price of $189

And now need a DVD player and not sure if I should spend the extra cash for progressive scan.

Progressive scan technology is made specifically for HDTVs, so you will not see a difference.

I dunno, I just got a 27" Flat screen for $189, didn't really look at any of the other features.

You can get better color from Component even if it doesn't get any sharper.

EDIT: for anybody looking at progressive scan DVD players, here's a ton of info Secrets Shootout

wrong! EDTV's (enhanced definition) supports progressive scan as well.

however, to the OP, your TV doesnt support progressive scan.

progressive scan is 480P and your TV does not support that, therefore you will not benefit from a progressive scan DVD player at all.

Aye, please don't act as if I purposefully gave wrong information. And yes, I am aware that EDTVs also support progressive-scan.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with ED, it's a step above SD.

For many people the price of HD simply isn't worth it, an ED set is just fine.

My projector is EDTV and it pretty much would have been a waste (and a ton more money) for me since I'm not getting HD and I'm using it for DVD viewing 90% of the time.

Nothing wrong with ED if you aren't going to get the benefit of HD and don't want to spend a whole lot more.

Note I said EDTV plasmas, not EDTV's in general.

i bet if you ask the guys on here who own an EDTV they won't own a plasma.
