Havoc Stryphe Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Originally posted by Imperial Sardaukar Does progressive scan only apply to the sound HS? I wasn't sure what it was exactly, so.... Here's how Progressive San works and what it does: Normal DVD players scan the entire screen so many times a second and redisplay the entire image every time (called scanning refreshing), but the entire image doesn't necessarily need updated and redisplayed every time it scans. If you notice most of the screen during a movie is background imagery that remains nearly the same throughout a scene, it's the images in the foreground (Actors, vehicles, explosions etc.) that need the most updating and redisplaying. Progressive scan scans and only updates the items that need updating, making for faster refresh rates and, consequently, a smoother, cripser image. Progressive Scan is necessary if you have a High Definition TV, because the HD will pickup the normal scanning and slower refresh rates and cause lines in the image.

MdKnightR Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I currently own a 25" Zenith, but it is getting fuzzy. Hope it lasts until I can afford a flat screen 42" HDTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mira Dona Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Like 34 I think. I remember when I bought it that there was about a $100 difference between 34 and 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Good lord! I've heard of resurrecting dead threads, but this takes the cake. While I'm here: 32 inch Sharp. First major purchase after I pay off the car next month? A big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Dear gadz MdKnightR, How many chickens did you have to sacrifice to ressurect this beast?!? Though be it a long dead thread, since it's nearly 2 years later *gasp hack cough wheeze*... I'm sure TV technology has changed... just be sure to check the date on the thread next time I've got a Samsung 32" flat-screen TV. The flat screen gives it a very nice crisp picture (good for my old ailing eyes... hehehe)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastila Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 one downstaris is 32 or 36 i dont know, its the biggest one the one in my room is 26 i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montnoir Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Cool resurrected thread. For movies, I have a 29" normal old-school tv and... that's it. Not planning in investing in anything else until I move out of my current pad. For games I have my trusted Intel pc with 21" normal old-school screen. No consoles! But thinking about, waiting until the next XBox is released and buying an old one (cheap-o after the price drop) so I can finally play Jade Empire. Went a little off-topic there, but I guess it's no prob in a thread like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 The TV I have in my appartment is a 27 inch RCA. Its about 10 years old or so. I decided when I moved out to either get a new monitor or TV. I chose monitor. I don't regret it, but a new TV isn't far off. I can't see playing the Twilight Princess on the POS I have now. (though, Its held up very well, I might have to look into another RCA TV.) I'm thinking a plasma widescreen TV would do nicely. HI-definition, ofcourse! I miss the 61 inch my dad has at his house........... I might have to loot it...er...find it. yea, thats what I mean... *nervous laugh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warchild75 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 How big is your television? The biggest in my house is something like 27 inch. I have a 28 inch tv in the living room and a 21 inch in the bedroom. I am quite taken by the 32 inch lcd tv's that are starting to flood the market.

Darth333 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have a 27 inch sony flatscreen which fills more than all my needs as I watch very little TV: about 1/2 hour per day to watch some news (which suck on tv about 95% of the time - I prefer other sources), occasionally a movie or an xbox game ( but I prefer my PC ) and that's all. I am not planning to purchase any new tv before a while as it would just stand there unused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallucination Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I have a 27 inch in our living and thats it, my Dad believes in rebuilding everything you can find. Speaking of gaming tvs, my friends cousin works for some company or another, and they were fixing those enormous Imax screens, and they plugged in a GCN and played mario cart splitscreen.
