XBox component

I know it does not do progressive scan but does the component lead allow you to view DVD's aswell as play the games.

 

[McPastry]

Yup, works fine with both games and DVDs. And it will do progressive scan, if you have a US Xbox or a chipped UK one set to NTSC video mode.

It outputs progressive scan with games but not DVD. I think there is a hack somewhere for this, but not sure. I have a US XBox connected via component with progressive out to my plasma and it looks great.

how big is the difference between running your machine prog or non prog carl?

 

[CarlB]

The difference is not huge as my Panasonic plasma has a highly regarded deinterlacer of its own, so when you feed an interlaced signal the plasma does a good job of the conversion anyway. But, if you're asking is there a big difference between interlaced and prog scan then my answer would be yes, there is a major difference (especially on larger screens where interlaced line structure would be more evident).
