Tech Talk
Progressive scan: A television with progressive scanning can generate a picture in a single pass, in a similar way to a computer screen. High-end DVD players also support this technology. Conventional interlaced scanning requires two passes to generate a picture: the first pass for the odd-numbered scan lines, the second for the even-numbered scan lines. Progressive scan has a refresh rate of 60 times per second, double the speed of conventional analog TVs, so the picture looks sharper, more solid, and more cinematic.
