Blu Ray DVD Players - Possibly a silly question
tringo

Hi,

Will a Blu Ray DVD player, in terms of picture quality, benefit all HD TV's?

I have a 42" Panasonic Viera (Panasonic-Viera-TH-42PX60B - 1080i and not 1080p) which is about 2 yrs old and i am in the market for a Blu Ray Player but wanted to make sure that i will see the awesome picture quality blu ray offers.

When i see the blu ray dvds in places like comet they have them linked up to the latest TV models so i am not sure if the improved picture quality is down to the newer model TV (i.e. 1080p) or the blu ray player (probably both i suspect).

Apologies if this is a stupid question.

EDIT: Basically what i am asking is - Is there any point in getting a blu ray player for a 1080i HD TV?

You will get excellent results from BluRay with your TV. There's a lot of nonsense talked about needing a full HD TV for BluRay.

LOL mostly by Sony, very keen to sell some TVs! Don'tcha just love marketing men! I'm a custom installer, I could have any TV I liked, just take one from stock, but I really cannot be bothered to upgrade my Fujitsu HD ready to a full HD, it really won't make an earth shaking difference. I have a buttkicker for that.
