The question is why people then would go out and
buy progressive scan DVD players to plug into
their ordinary (albeit with component input) JVC,
Sony, and other TVs.
As has been echoed in this thread, "because they're the best"... and cheap.
However, many people DON'T know that they have no use for it UNTIL they flip the switch, so at that point (after some manual reading) they probably figure that it'll provide some future upgradability, for whenever they decide to get a better TV.
According to a course I took at CEDIA, there isn't even much value to buying a progressive scan DVD player if your display has a good enough line doubler and the interlaced DVD player is fairly good.
