|   Does TV's come with progressive scan? | Polper
May 18, 2001 8:54 AM | | Hi. I just purchased a Pioneer DV 37 player and is about to purchase a TV. I'm thinking of a 36" widescreen TV-set. And I'm a bit concerned about the Progressive Scan part. Do you know any TV's out there with this feature. Any info is highly apreciated.
Thanks. |

Take care |

May 19, 2001 11:31 PM | | To put it in a simple term, 480p refer to completion of one picture frame( full screen)at 1/60 of a second in a progressive maner-line by line-as oppose to 480i ( interlaced)which refer to completion of on picture frame( full screen) at 1/60 of second by odd( 1,3,5,7,etc) lines and then by even lines(2.4.6.8.etc) at another 1/60 of a second, or vice versa, for total of 1/30 of a second for full frame screen.
As you can see it will take less time( 1/60 of a second) in a progressive-scan method for full screen view( all 480 lines) than full screen view for interlaced scan( 1/30 of second). This is the reason for better picture quality with progressive scan.
I hope I didn't throw you off as this topic can get very complicated. |
