Thanks: Gave 238, Got 155 | Toshiba 32PZ48 and progressive scan
Just confirmed by Toshiba tech support that it only supports pal progressive scan and not ntsc progressive (480p).Just for your info incase anyone is interested. I am now looking at the Panasonic 32pd50, does anyone konw if this supports ntsc progressive.

I thought they could both handle NTSC progressive scan.

Yes neither the 36zp48 or the 32zp48 will accept ntsc progressive. Called toshiba on friday and they did not know the answer but they called me back today. Not the answer I was looking for but good customer service.

Thanks Paul. That's a bit of a shame as some of my favourite discs are NTSC. I'm still sticking with the Tosh though  | |

One more nugget of information regarding the ZP48 and NTSC progressive scan; from the Toshiba website:
"...Progressive Scan delivers perfectly smooth edges to lines and curved objects. This is ideal when viewing NTSC material (DVD/Videos from N. America or Japan) which are made up of fewer lines of information than the European systems."
( http://www.home-entertainment.toshib...e?opendocument)
So it seems it most certainly can handle NTSC progressive scan.

The older model toshiba tvs only used to support ntsc progressive scan and not pal progressive scan so dont see why the newer models wouldnt support ntscprogressive scan.  | |

I've ran my Tosh ZP48 in progresive scan using an NTSC signal with no problems at all. I'm 100% certain its running in progressive scan too, not only by looking at it, but whilst the NTSC DVD is running and I enter the TV Menu the option to change scan modes has been removed (which always occurs when progressive scan input isbeing fed in).
