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 .

Did you go with the TX-SR606? I got it a few months ago and love it. It's a bit large but it handles all audio formats, so I'm happy with it. With HDMI cables (as with speaker cables) name brand means nothing. You will save a bundle if you just go with the cheapest ones you can find. Best Buy tries to sell the Monster brand HDMI cables for a hundred bucks or more. That is robbery. I got my three Belkin HDMI cables at Target for $40 each and I paid too much. Just get anything you see that is version 1.3 or better. As far as Blu-Ray goes, the PS3 is the best thing out there. It's a bit expensive though. So if you're trying to save some money, I have seen some good reviews for the Sony BD-S350. The DMP-BD55K looks nice too, as does the Samsung P2500. When it comes to deciding which one to buy, it all boils down to cost vs. benefit.

First, check the back of your Blu Ray component output. It should but it wouldn't be 1080p only 480i picture quality. HDMI cables to your Blu-Ray and HD Television that's the best way to go. I hope I help answer your question. Happy Holiday and New Year.

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?

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.

I bought it from Amazon for $1389 like December 10th-ish with no blu-ray. I complained to customer service after I received the TV and they refunded me $100 and gave me the blu ray player for free. So I guess it's worth a shot if Buy.com's customer service is as good as Amazon.com's.

This TV does have 1080p over component as an input, but your player must also support this feature. The TVs response time is 8ms from what i've read. Blu-ray is absolutely amazing,and I love the HDMI-CEC features!

I don't for a minute believe this TV is 1080, but for composite inputs I get a pretty good picture quality out of mine. Have you checked the source?

Maybe you could enlighten me as to what is wrong with my current plan. Get a blue-ray player which features onboard decoding of the lossless formats as well as component analog outputs. Connect the analog outputs to a non HDMI receiver/amplifier and the HDMI output of the blu-ray player directly to the TV. With cheaper full featured blu-ray players, (eg, Vizio for $200) announced at the CES, coming out in the next few months, this may be the low cost way to go. Except for using less cables, what is the advantage in going all HDMI?

For anyone like myself who came here trying to find an answer as to why the 3D feature isn't working on your Blu-ray player, check your Output Video Format under Screen Settings. Mine was set on component, since my older TV that I had just upgraded from didn't have HDMI capability. Once I changed this setting to HDMI--voila!---, my 3D Blu-ray movie worked just fine.

WAOOO zachary, i think you are wrong. i got mine and for my surprise it is 1080p. i have a hd dvd player and it is capable of handling the 1080p. My xbox 360 display the image at 1080i, and my HD signal too.So i dont understand why you said that this TV is not 1080p?IT IS...

I just purchased the Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray players and I'm having the same problem as posted by C. Wagnon; anyone out there has a solution! If I can't use the wifi connection, I'll be returning the darn player!

the Tv is not recieving a truue digital signal.... you must connect thru the HDMI or colorstream ports and ALSO have a true digital signal coming in to get a 1080p on start up.... most DVD's (not blue ray) can not generate true 1080... and some cable networks you need a 1080 converter..... dish satelite or digital over the air should draw a 1080 response.. hope that helps... PS: my Tv works great... and has since I bought it.. Joe

I have this Sony 32" in my bedroom hooked up to a PS3 and blu rays look great. I also have a 46" 1080p Samsung in living room with a Panasonic blu ray player and both pictures look the same to me. I have read in many AVS forums the naked eye cannot tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 32" HDTV when at least 6 feet or more form the set. Hope this helps.

Although I don't have a specific answer to this issue, I know that my TV will automatically select 720p over 1080i when I am using a Blu-Ray player or Xbox gaming system. 720p is actually a higher resolution image, because the picture is progressively scanned. Because my TV is only capable of a 1080i (interlaced) image, I cannot enjoy the full benefits of 1080p. The next best choice is then 720p, which is exactly what my system chooses to display by default.

Yes...1080p simply means that this Blu-Ray player can output up to 1080p...all other HD resolutions (780p/1080i/1080p) can be output by this machine.
