A blue ray player plays files at 1080p pixel rate.

if you’re tv is 720p, then it’s not quite as good picture.

However, there honestly won’t be too much of a deterioration in picture quality, especially if you’re not used to seeing a 1080p tv playing to it’s full potential.

Your 720p set is still playing High Definition after all, and should still be of excellent quality (as long as you’re using a good enough HDMI lead to hook the blue-ray up)…

Yes definitely. 720p is HDTV and even at 42″ you may not see much difference between 720p and 1080p. If you already have an HDTV, let me ask you this: Do you watch any shows on Fox, ABC, or ESPN-HD? Do they look good to you? If so, you should know that those are all 720p, and you can expect blu-ray 720p to look like that. If you do get a blu-ray, I recommend you set it up for 720p output–make the player do the format conversion.

720 and 1080p is the resolution in which your TV shows the picture. The difference is better picture. 720 has a less picture and less HD than a 1080p.
