Progressive Scan - What can it do for me?

I see nothing wrong with what Vid did, all he did was punish the stupid.  and that is almost a public service.

Ok I have a question I finally decided on the tv I\'m buying for my B\'day it\'s a Samsung 30in 16x9 HD upgradable.  I wanted to know if I\'ll be able to get progessive scan in all PScan compatible games with a component cable on PS2 & GC or would that require the actual HD converter box?

The HD convertor box would have nothing to do with the PS or the GC.  It just brings the signal in from either a satellite distributor or the terestrial antenna.

I\'d think you would just plug it right in with the component cables, but to get progressive scan you would need the PS2 adapter which as far as I know has not come out yet.  Although there are some 3rd party ones that I wouldn\'t trust.  But I\'m an idiot so it may already be out and I just don\'t know about it.

I\'ve played on 13" and 20" tv\'s my whole life.  Hell the "big screen" in my house is a 27" in the family room.

I know what you mean man...my 25\' rca tv sucks ass but that\'s all gonna change come Nov.  Pscan:D

The component cables should be all that you need, at least that\'s all you need for the GC\'s P-scan games. I would venture to guess that is all that is required for the PS2 as well,  but I have yet to try a P-scan PS2 game and therefore cannot definate answer.

Btw, at the moment GC component cables are only available from Nintendo\'s website which is somewhat annoying.

this might sound stupid...but what exactly is progressive scan,....and how would one go about aqurieing it???????
