How can you tell if you're looking at a progressive scan DVD player when you're shopping? Also, I assume that the TV (or HDTV ready TV) needs to be able to handle a progressive scan signal. Is this true?
Any suggestions on current models available? Looking for rear projector in the 60" range.
Thanks in advance.

The player will be more expensive and prominently advertise that it is progressive-scan capable. It will also have a set of outputs on the back that are specifically labeled "pregressive scan". This will be in addition to the regular interlaced outputs such as component, s-video, and composite video. The TV needs to be able to accept the same progressive-scan input. Be aware that there are different HDTV inputs, and you must have the matching DVD component-video progressive-scan connection (3 RCA-type connections).
