Progressive scan output best card options

[dubbly]

Hi I am looking for suggestions for cards with progressive scan output. My plan isto rip my DVDs to my hardrive and use my computer as a progressive scan video source for my HDTV. Any suggestions?

Any ATI Radeon card that's 8500 or higher can output 480p(720p/1080i also) component video to an HDTV. You have to buy a special adaptor that ATI supplies. If your HDTV has a VGA or DVI connector on it, you can avoid this nonsense and just hook it up directly with a VGA or DVI cable.

By using your computer, your video card or DVD software is actually gonna be the one doing the de-interlacing (or progressive scanning) so the quality of the picture is going to be most dependent on that.
