progressive scan sends 60 full frames to the tv, instead of 30 interlaced frames, you get a better and smoother images, in order to utilize this though you need a hi-scan TV, which pretty much means an HDTD compatible tv.

most new DVD players have it, I have the sony 700p, 715p has it too, just look around, 75% of current dvd players will have it. If you have HDTV though, and want some nice quality, I would get a pioneer elite DV45a, or some other ones, there are truly many good DVD players out there, and with DV45a, you get DVD and SACD for about $699 RETAIL price can't beat that.

If you don't have a High Definition TV, it is no use getting a Progressive Scan DVD player unless you plan on keeping it until you get a HDTV. The progressive scan feature only works on HDTVs. Connecting a P.S. DVD player using component video, you will get 480 interlaced lines of resolution. Connecting the same DVD player to a HDTV will take FULL advantage of a PS DVD player displaying 480 progressive lines of resolution resulting in a shaper image. What analog TVs do is scan the odd lines of resolution first then the even lines. Digital TVs in conjuction with a PS source or something like it will scan all the lines in sequence - giving you a sharper and smoother image.

I have the Sony DVP-NS715P with progressive scan. I don't have a HDTV yet, but it plays awesome with my 32" Wega and 16:9 compression.

Toshiba SD4700

Toshiba's SD4700 has everything that the demanding A/V connoisseur could ask for: a nearly flawless progressive-scan picture, DVD-Audio support, and a bargain price tag to boot. DTV owners: Put this player on your shortlist.

I think the new sony is the best deal. DVPNS715P. Its 189 at bestbuy , silver , small , has awesome progressive output.

It doesnt have SACD , but really there arent that many DVD audio discs out yet.....I think missy elliot is the only rap title so far....

Also It sounds like that one has problems with 4:3 output....From what Ive seen the output is amazing on my sony and it plays vcd's from my computer like nothing.

so your saying i'll be completely happy with that sony? cause it does sound nice..and its beautiful!!

the only thing..i'm not sure if i want dvd audio or not..i've seen the dvd-a section at best buy and stuff..and there's like 50 out...a few good ones...but i dunno...i dont want to pay extra for it and have it flop lol but then again..i dont want to have to buy another dvd player in a year or something..know what i mean..i dunno what to do

i just found this model...DVPNS755V

it has super audio cd's..prolly not worth it though..right?
