Hi,
I recently purchased a used Panasonic lcd projector and a progressive scan dvd player. I am using a beaded screen on the set up.I have not used the dvd player as yet.But I am rather dissapointed by the video quality when watching VHS tapes and cable tv program on the setup. The projector has VGA and S-Video inputs.It's best resolution is SVGA.I am trying to improve the picture quality by either purchasing the TV-3000 or TV-4000. And because I have no experiences on these equipments I would sure like to hear from you with these regards. My understandings about the TV-3000 is that it provides line doubling and TV-4000 is good with monitors.
And,since the dvd player with progressive scan has s-video output,does TV-3000 or 4000 make any improvements in picture quality?

Line doublers will improve overall quality... somewhat. Dont expect a night and day difference regardless of what you hear. If your looking to get the most out of a DVD with a projector... you either need a "high end" progressive dvd player with DVI or SDI outputs... or you need to run them right off your computer. It's the easiest way of getting a direct digital signal.
Even if your dvd player has component video outputs... it's not a direct digital signal. It converts a digital signal to analog then back to digital. Not good.
As for your VCR... again, the line doubler will help... but it's still gonna look like crap... because VHS is... well, crap! Even original tapes look like **** when compared to todays progressive and high resolution images. And thats on a regular television... let alone taking a 640x480 image and blowing it up 80-100" wide then expanding the image to 800x600 or even worse 1024x768.
