Does it work for 720: Am I correct to assume this blu-ray player will play on my tv?

Yes, they all play regular dvd's, not just blurays. If you only have a 720p/10801 television, then the bluray player will output the pic at that level. You may have to adjust the settings, but it will still out output it at 720p/1080i

Thread 95245 on forum.blu-ray.com has an extremely helpful and complete discussion of the subject http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=95245 In short some will do and others won't. As some have stated already region codes (0-1 for DVD or A-C for BD) and format (resolution (480 or 576) and frame rate (50 Hz, 60 Hz)) are all independent issues that the player (and user) has to deal with. If your disk's frame rate is 50 Hz and your player will accept it's region code, then there are several ways of solving the issue and several ways you could get stuck with not being able to view the content of your disk on your tv. Your player could react in one of three ways: 1. It could plainly refuse to play the disk (some show "no play" on their front display) 2. It could play the content and output a 50 Hz signal (which your receiver and tv might or might not be able to handle) 3. It could play the content, convert it for you, and output a 60 Hz signal (this would be the easiest and most convenient for all users as any US receiver and tv would be able to display that signal without further processing) For further technical detail please refer to the following pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_region_code#PAL.2FSECAM_vs._NTSC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Video

The one I bought last summer was 720p. But the resolution is great. I don't have a blue ray player though. And they are optimal with 1080 p I've been told.

It will if you have an A/V input on your TV, if you don't and just have a cable hook up, you will have to get a converter..........used on an old tv really defeats the purpose of having a blu ray player....the picture is just awesome on a flatscreen LED screen..

I was wondering the same thing...on this product or an other Blu-Ray players. Someone told me it does but I haven't seen it listed as part of the specificationsfor any I've looked at.

Hi Craig: i need clarification. If it is hooked up to a bluray, then it follows the movie settings that you have listed? what if i am watching regular tv, do i set it on "standard", and what are the settings? thanks.

I have a "stupid" question. My LCD sets are only 720p. Will I get a markedly better picture from my DVD player that I currently have when I put in a Blu-Ray disc on these sets?

yes, 1080p is better than 720p and you will notice a difference even at 20ft away (given the source material/player/source is in 1080p)!

Grab a Blu player , as you'll be fine with the 720p ; no downgrade in PQ as the Blu player will still output to 1080p . Just set the Blu player to 1080p (and 24fps to auto) and enjoy the picture .

Hmm, I've a PS3 and an Xbox, and none of them have any issues with this TV. I've seen 300 on this TV and noticed no such flaws (of course, I'm still not over the euphoria of going HD!), but in all fairness that was the HD-DVD version, so we can't rule out encoding issues on the Blu-Ray side.

In addition to this, since this HDTV is 120hz, you should set your Blu-ray player to output at 24hz instead of 60hz. This will produce a picture closest to how it looked at the theater.(I'm not going to take the time explaining why you should do this, Google it if you don't believe me. For 120/240hz HDTVs, Blu-ray players should output at 24hz instead of the standard 60hz to have the best picture possible.)

I've got Roku, Apple TV, Dish Network, and a Panasonic Blu-Ray all running through a Pioneer vsx-60 receiver to the TV and they all look great. I can't tell any difference between a 720p and 1080p TV . I have both.

No, the screen resolution is 1366 x 768, so 1080p movies will play like 720p.

I just bought my tv and hooked it up, so I'm not completely sure. My guess however, is that maybe it's with how you are connecting it to a device or set top box. For instance when I connect my tv to my old DVD player with component cables, it is only capable of 720p and 60Hz. I believe if I were to connect it with HDMI cables to an HD device that would change. Like I said though, I'm new to this too, but right now that's my understanding.

Yes, this player will upconvert DVD's as well as play blu-ray discs up to a resolution of 1080i through the component jacks. In "video settings" select "component video out" and the proper resolution can be selected, up to and limited to 1080i, however. But the picture still should look great on your HDTV.

Yes, this model unit will run games at 720p since it support up to 1920 x 1080 resolution. It will also run games to 30 fps.

Under compare item it states it's a 720 but then below it states it is a 1080p.
