My uncle has a HD Panasonic 50" plasma TV. That plasma TV has HDMI connections and component video connections as well.
I have experimented with progressive scanning before and have seen a difference between 480i and 480p. Even tough with the 480p mode you see some blurring, the images are much alive than in 480i. I have seen this with a Panasonic S97.
The DVD I need is for my uncle. I would like him to experiment watching his movies in 480p but I also have heard about all this upscaling DVDs. I know that to do upscaling you need an HDMI connection and that by this connection you won't get 480p mode? Is that right?
Where is someone better off in IMAGE QUALITY: watching a DVD movie in 480p (progressive scanning) mode via component cables? Or, watching a DVD movie in upscaling 1080p? Can I have both options (progressive scanning 480p and upscaling 1080p with HDMI) Wich would you choose?
In my country (Costa Rica) options are not as big as in the US, and we have here only these brands: Sony, Panasonic, Marantz, Denon and Onkyo. Of course, we have also LG, Samsung, Philips, but I know these are not as good as the first group of brands.
Wich DVD would you choose? Thanks a lot for your help!
