RE: Best DVD player with Progressive Scan (on a budget)?
DSM,
Dr49%er`s no doubt well-meaning reply is at best confusing and at worst just plain wrong. (Sorry Dr49%er - not trying to offend ;) ).
If you have a TV that is capable of reproducing progressive scan images, it does indeed need a progressive scan output from your source to do so. Having said that, many TVs can (and do) scale, process and display pretty much anything you throw at them, but to get the best from it you need to provide it with the appropriate source.
It would be best to identify the exact type of input your TV can display (note I used the word "display", not "accept" - many TVs can accept progressive input but cannot display it correctly). Could be 480p, 720p or (extremely unlikely) 1080p.
It might be worth considering the NeuNeo HVD-2081. It has 720p output on Component (or HDMI), DD5.1/DTS Optical/Coax outputs and can upscale normal DVD titles to HD. Take a look here.
There are lots of articles on HDTV on the `net that will put you in a better position when considering equipment - it might be worth spending an hour or two browsing.
Hope this helps.
