  Blue Ray Quality with a 1080i / 720p HDTV?
As I understand it the new Blue Ray system is based on 1080p for its advancement in picture quality.

I have a few years old Sony 60" LCD that outputs 1080i or 720p ,but, NOT 1080p.
I should state that the picture quality with my present equipment with Hi Def sources is great.

I am sort of interested in a Blue Ray player. The Player cost seem reasonable, but I am still on the fence about the cost of the Blue Ray discs.

I have never received a straight answer as to the video improvement with my present equipment using a Blue Ray player and Blue Ray discs from the adolescences who work at the local Electronics stores.

So, here are the 2 questions...

1. Will there be any Video improvement with using a Blue Ray player and Blue Ray discs with equipment that cannot output 1080 P?

2. If there is an improvement is it 90% 50 % 25% or whatever?

Thanks,
ozzy

The answer is, yes. My screen is 720P and nothing looks as good as Blu Ray. upconverted DVDs might be nice but it does not beat Blu Ray.

Think os it this way.

Would you rather be upconverting from stnadard DVD 480P to 720P or downconverting from 1080P to 720P?

For the answer is ...clear.
