The best part about HDTV is displaying movies on DVD. With a $400+ 'Progressive Scan' DVD player, it is almost always capable of reconstructing the original 24 frame per second film image and sending it to the HDTV preserved in that format. It's kind of hard to explain beyond this. If you'd like more info on home theater purchases (I sure don't have the money for it!) e-mail me!

I can say that *don't buy a progressive scan DVD player right now* if you can help it. They just came out with a new engine/brains for it which does a much better job. The first DVD player with it had a severe bug which renders the gains useless (Denon 2800), the next DVD player with it is still not out yet (Toshiba 4700).

Sorry to ramble. We're straying really off-topic!
