I have a CRT 30" HDTV & i'm not sure if it does progressive scan or not. I couldn't find nothing in the user manual & other paperwork that makes any mention of it when i initially unpacked the TV, though that was several months ago. However, everything I've been reading on HDguru.com & wikipedia (not always reliable i know) seems to imply that all CRT's can dsiplay progressive scan. SO, my question stems from the instance maybe a month ago or so when i decided to mess with my DVD player's settings & switched it to progressive scan & the image went all wacky. It was still there, but instead of being centered as appropriate, it was as if the image was split in half with the right half of the picture on the left half of the screen & the left half of the image on the right half of the screen. It was also all wavy looking. My memory isn't perfect on the next details, but i seem to remember that the text of the DVD player menu became almost illegible, & some sort of box appearing in the middle of the screen (which looked to be generated by the TV, not the player, as it was perfectly square & legible) that said "PROGRESSIVE". I don't remember for certain if that "PROGRESSIVE" box appeared, but i seem to remember it.... It's been a while. Anyway, after messing with it for a minute, i put it back on interlaced & left it alone. Ive been reading a lot about the how's & why's of HDTV (& tv in general) lately & i just rememebered that. I fighured I'd ask around to see if anyone here with FAR more knowledge than i have in the whole matter might know what was going on & whether my TV can display a progressive signal or not. It's no big deal as I'm very satisfied with my TV as is, but i would like to get the most out of it & i keep hearing more & more about progressive & how wonderful it is. Thanks to anyone who takes time to help me.

Oh yeah, my tv is a 30 inch Phillips, this one to be exact.

EDIT, ok i just saw on there it lists it as progressive-capable, however, I'm at work and can't check the model number to see if that's EXACTLY the same tv, but the picture looks exactly like my tv, & the features all sound the same... So what the heck was going on with my dvd player? Maybe i'll try plugging my PS2 into it & setting it to progressive to see what happens... Could there be a setting on the tv i need to change?
