Why is Progressive-Scan Technology the one to choose for Movie DVD enthusiasts?

For use with HDTV-enabled televisions, a progressive-scan DVD player provides a superior, "filmlike" picture by creating its images differently than conventional televisions, which use "interlaced scanning." The conventional process creates its picture by drawing around 400 horizontal lines twice per frame: once for the even-numbered lines and once for the odd-numbered lines, interlacing about 30 times per second. Progressive-scan DVD players scan from top to bottom in one fluid pass, making it harder to discern a picture's individual scan lines, which increases resolution while minimizing distortion and flickering.
