Analog Pulldown?

[Donohue]

This may be a stupid question; I feel stupid having to ask after selling A/V for 12 years, anyway. But here it is: there is evidently an analog 30" JVC widescreen (AV30W475) that they claim has a 2:3 pulldown function. I've always encountered this feature on digital, prog-scan capable displays. Is pulldown reversal even possible on an analog set? How?

Assuming it's a 1080i monitor, it's simply applying deinterlacing to the source (interlaced) input. As it does this it performs 2:3 pulldown. The fact that it is a CRT doesn't have anything to do with ability to do deinterlacing. It just needs to be an HDTV or HDTV-ready.

That's just it... it's not HD ready, or even ED... (at least they don't claim it is on JVC.com) it's plain-jane 480i, except widescreen format. Hence my confusion.

IF it's 480i widescreen it is not going to be doing any deinterlacing and therefore won't have 2:3 pulldown. In addition, it won't matter if your DVD player can do it since you can only feed it 480i.

That's what I thought - maybe it's a typo.
