Well, actually, while NTSC Laserdisc is 525i, only about 480 horizontal lines show up, but since the film is 24 frames per second dressed up as 30 full frames, not 60 fields, per second, what you are getting is in fact exactly 480p. That is always a constant in the analog world, even on NTSC VHS. It's the horizontal resolution that varies. And yes, I also have a perfectly good Laserdisc player.
