Can a Blue Ray player also play a standard DVD?
If I buy a Blu Ray player, does that make all my DVD’s obsolete? Or can I still play the DVD’s in the Blu Ray player (even though it will not be Blu Ray quality)?
AND
Must my HDTV be at least 1080p to get the benefit of Blu Ray, or will a lower pixel HDTV also provide the exceptional picture?
Blu-ray provides excellent picture on just about any TV. But, to get the full advantage of it, a 1080p TV is preferred. There are plenty of affordable TV’s with resolutions of 720p that will do just fine. And yes a Blu-ray player will play a standard DVD w/ no problem. Do not go out & replace your collection. Only buy the new releases on Blu-ray or the ones that you feel are your favorites.
you can’t play regular DVDs in a Blue Ray, they are obsolete and I know you need a pretty high grade HDTV in order to get the best out of your blue ray
Blu-ray players will play all DVD’s just fine. Some will even upconvert and make the picture a tad bit better as well.
It get the absolute best picture, 1080p would be preferred, but 720p looks great as well. That’s something I would not sweet.
