I have the Pioneer Elite PRO-710HD and would say that the internal line doubler is so good that for anamorphic DVDs, the interlaced DVD video is hardly distinguishable from a progressive player output. My interlaced player is the Elite DVL-91, and if I were only watching anamorphic R1 DVDs, I would not need another player. I have three progressive scan players which show their superiority on non-anamorphic discs. For non-anamorphic R1 discs, my Panasonic RP-91 is the star performer, giving images very much like what I'd see from an anamorphic DVD.
For those of us with the x10HD sets, the scaling ability of the RP-91 makes a major difference. Also, the ability to fine tune the image for each disc, and save the settings is a big benefit. DVD-RAM playing ability is another feature that I'm now using a lot.
So, it's worth the effort to get a non-defective RP-91 player, to hook it up and set it up correctly. If you do this on a well-functioning Elite x10HD monitor, you will see progressive scan video that is just outstanding. That's the way it looks to me as I watch seated 8 1/2 feet back from my 710 screen.
