Blue-ray Movies on 1080i tv?

Question

My TV is a 32" Sony Bravia KLV-32S200A HD LCD

it supports the following Resolutions :-

480p

720p

1080i

there is a HDMI input

but no 1080p

can i play blue-ray movies on it ?

i heard that blu-ray movies only works on 1080p tvs

Answer 1

Agreed go into the Bluray's menu and select the native setting of the TV.  So if the TV is a 720p (even though it can decode 1080i) select 720p.  If the Native resolution is 1080i then select this.

the Bluray player will downrez the signal to the TV's native resolution before transmitting to the TV.  This way with it set to the Tv's native resolution, the image will not have to be scaled twice, which could add artifacts and make the image softer, then just being scaled once.

Answer 2

It will play fine on 1080i

It wil play at 720p too

just go into the blu-ray settings and adjust

HDMI should auto adjust though

Answer 3

it will play just not upto the highest standards possible .

but the tv u have is a nice one anyways so u will be loving it

good luck
