No, there is no point in getting a progressive scan DVD player for either of those TV's. There will be no difference. Hell, to tell you the truth, I could hardly tell the difference when we'd hook progressive scan's upto HD sets. Back then, Progressive Scans were pricey, $400 - $600. Now it might be worth it if you have an HD set, as you can get a pretty nice sony or mistubishi progressive scan for under $300.
