Is there a significant difference between regular DVDs and blu-ray dvds on any tv?

I have a Sony Bravia with 720p and 1080i. All the blu-ray DVD players I see seem to have output of 1080p. Does this difference matter or will I still see a much better picture with a blu-ray player on my tv?Is there a significant difference between regular DVDs and blu-ray dvds on any tv?
Standard DVD movies are still in the 480P and your 720 is much better. The Blue Ray disc movies are all in 1080P, playing it on your 720P tv will look good compare to a standard DVD. Most DVD on the market now converts them to 1080P, but not quit as good as you would get from a Blue Ray disc movies. Remember you won't be able to tell the difference between 720P and 1080P in screen size smaller than a 46".
Even 720p is worlds better than a standard DVD. You know how bad regular TV looks now that you've started watching HD channels? That's the difference you will see when you compare bluray to your old DVDs.Is there a significant difference between regular DVDs and blu-ray dvds on any tv?
Why would you play a Blu-Ray on a regular television?



The picture might be clearer, but you won't see a foreseeable difference if you're playing a Blu-Ray on a regular definition TV.



Now if you use an HDMI cable and plug the Blu-Ray to a 1080p 240hz HDTV, then your eyes won't believe what they are seeing.Is there a significant difference between regular DVDs and blu-ray dvds on any tv?
Honestly... I would not go with blu Ray if I were you. Yes it is leaps and bounds ahead of DVD ( which is a 480p resolution) but blu Ray used to it's full potentil needs a full HDTV (1080p capabilities) and preferebaly a tv ABOVE 50". Because the resolution of blu Ray is made for hi clarity and resolution on on large screens. Why? Because it is capable of doing so. Example



if you watched a blu Ray ona tv 46" or less that IS full 1080p the screen is so small that everything is very compressed already so it's difficult to see alot of intricate details and differences. But on a 60" your going to see alot of things different and larger. Where this is where the BR resolution will come in making the picture that much better





In your situation I would not go blu Ray unless u got a new tv. Your best bet would be to get an upscaling DVD or br player. Which will upconvert all your DVDs to HD quality ( usually 720p ). that would be your best bet considering that would give you the best picture quality for the tv u have now. And yes blu rays and players are all full 1080p



edit**** 240 hs means nothing on blu Ray. The guy above me is gonna confuse u with that. So don't listen to him. Tvs with ( motion plus or refresh rates ) are for things such as standard and HD television where they don't have the resolution capabilities to keep up with fast moving video. And IMO is worthless anyways. Blu Ray does not need any processing advances at all ( dynamic contrast, filters and yes even the 240 hs refresh rates ) lol
Just as there is a big difference between HD (720p, 1080i, 1080p) and SD programming there is a big difference between HD (Blu-ray) and SD (DVD) movies. Upscaling DVD players improve a DVDs picture, but they still don't look as good as Blu-rays. Whether or not this improvement is justified by the cost is a personal decision. I believe the improved picture quality is justified, so I bought an HDTV and a Blu-ray player.
Without getting into the technicalities, I have a 1080i 61" HDTV and BluRay looks like my HD channels so for me the answer is yes.
