HI my tv will accept 1080p but its only a 1366 by 768 res, my question is should I set my BD dvd player to 1080p or 720p which would be best for my res. thanks in advance.

1080p or 720p on a HD ready tv
Virtually all Blu-rays are 1080p so send that to the TV and it will scale down to 1366*768, if you sent 720p then the TV would scale up from 720p, two scaling operations which makes more opportunities for PQ issues.
If your TV accepts and processes 1080p/24 then that's even better
Worth noting that if you are using the same player for DVD then you may find that what works best for Blu-ray isn't the best for DVD however I would lean towards sending 1080p again to minimise scaling operations.

I'd personally set it to 1080p, then the TV will scale it down to 768.
Setting it to 720 the player will scale it down the the TV will then have to scale it back up to 768.
There's no right or wrong way, try both settings and select the one that looks the best to you.

Hi prakb no I mean 1080p when I feed In 1080p the tv accepts this setting, even though it is a 1366 by 768 res, my tv is a 42in philips lcd.

The OP's TV can accept a 1080p signal, they wanted to know which was the best setting to use on the player, 1080p/720.
As already suggested - 1080P would be my advice as well.
However, it's a customer setting, try it both ways, and see which YOU personally prefer.

In order to get 1080i native the TV must be 1920x1080 as well so it's difficult to see your point?

Some TVs (recent Pannies for one) always upscale to 1080 anyway to do the signal processing and then for those non 1080 line displays downscale to the native resolution. For TVs like those it obviously makes sense to use 1080p rather than 720p.
As you say though trying both makes the most sense.
