What can a player with 720p do with blu-ray?

Gerty

Hi,

I have a Philips 37PF7411 which is the first one in this - http://www.plasma-lcd-crt.com/compares/philips_37pf7411_vs_hyundai_h-tv2905pf . As far as i can tell it has 720p. If i wanted to combine it with this blu-ray player - http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-BD570-Blu-ray-Player-featuring/dp/B003IHVHW2/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1292942046&sr=1-2 , would it still work well?

Thanks for any help

Should work fine. According to their specs, the TV has HDMI input and the Blu-ray player can output 720P

It will still be a massive improvement. For me the difference between SD and 720p is bigger than the difference between 720p/1080i and 1080p.
