TV and DVD player question?

Question

I own a 720p HDTV from samsung. Would it be possible for me to use a 1080p DVD Player on the TV. Would it still play but only in 720p or would the DVD player be incompatible with the TV. Thanks and 10 points to the best answer. The TV is -http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-HPT5054-50-Inch-Plasma-HDTV/dp/B000NEKORW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1214930082&sr=8-1

The DVD player is - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N254LU/ref=dp_cp_ob_title_0/103-1197291-0011824

Answer 1

The dvd player will actually let you set it at 480p 720p or 1080p so it would even work on an old school tv and if you do end up with a 1080p TV later on you just change the settings on the dvd player
