Progressive scan video displays a video frame with one
pass of sequential scan lines. A progressive scan TV
displays the entire picture, drawn sequentially from top
to bottom, without the odd/even interlacing. This
results in a fuller, sharper picture and better display
quality for viewing and using the Media Center
computer functions. The progressive scan picture is also
brighter and easier on your eyes.

DVD with DVD recording (burning) software, such as
Power2Go, and with the Media Center itself.
