Question about BluRay movies....

I have an HDTV that runs in a maximum of 1080i. Can I play BluRay movies in 1080i or 720p and will it still look decent? I know that 1080p is full hd but I wonder if it's pointless to buy bluray movies if it doesn't work in lesser resolutions. Hopefully that's not too confusing of a question. Thanks...

Yes it is quite confusing.

What is the maximum resolution of your flat panel television set? If it doesn't go up to 1920 x 1080 then the 1080i also is emulated which means it's fake. It is possible to run 1080p on a 22" monitor if it supports emulation even its native resolution doesn't reach that high.

Bandwidth should also be taken into consideration.....but it's always quite complicated.

A promising way is, to my best knowledge, to borrow or rent a Bluray movie and try all the combination of display settings with your console and tv, then you will find a optimized setting. My guess would be 720p probably runs best on your system.

It will look similar to some of the PS3 games. Resistance only runs at 720p and I am absolutely amazed.

I don't know if anyone else or maybe it's only me.. I find the graphics of Resistance.....not so attractive than some of the Xbox360 titles, graphic wise, that is.

The only game on Playstation 3 astonished me is Gran Turismo HD Concept.
