Why do you assume that one method must be better than the other? There's
no guarantee that the DVD player can deinterlace better than the
display. If the interface from DVD to display is component video, which
can be either progressive or interlaced, then the final image quality
will not necessarily be better from a progressive DVD player output.
Why decode frame based MPEG video into an interlaced video signal, just to have the monitor take the baseband video signal and try to recreate progressive again? MPEG 2 compression is frame based, so the best place to create progressive video is during the decoding process in the DVD player, rather than trying to make progressive from baseband interlaced video in the monitor.
