HD Images Are Best On High-Res TVs
-
To view a high definition (HD) program, whether from cable, satellite or DVD, your TV set must be HD compatible. While many sets have the HD insignia and are capable of playing an HD signal, the actual image may be less than spectacular. This is because the size of the screen also plays a role in image quality. Ideally, your screen should be larger than 42 inches for optimal HD viewing.

720p Is A High Standard Of Resolution
-
720p is considered high resolution and perfectly capable of displaying HD images. In fact, some experts feel that the difference between 720p and the higher 1080p resolution is negligible and even undetectable. With current trends in electronics, many TVs are capable of displaying HD images at an affordable price.
Bottom Line
-
You should buy an HD DVD player if you have a 720p television set. Even if your screen is smaller than required for optimal viewing, you will still be able to enjoy your DVDs, and when you purchase a larger TV in the future, your DVD player will be ready for it.
