Is there any point in watchin blu rays on a 720p TV?

Back on topic. It's worth it and as a Bluray player can be got for cheapo money now it's a worthwhile upgrade. I had a Bluray player long before I had a full HD LED TV and the improvement from a DVD player was vast and as mentioned they will upscale his DVD's as well, win win.

I am a sucker for a gadget and couple of years ago bought 2 expensive HDMI cables and genuinely noticed no difference from the £4.99 cable supplied with the Player. 

Oh and don't be tight ad buy him an HD TV as well.

720p is still double SD so I certainly think its worth it, especially on a large screen.

And no, expensive cable make f*ck all diffrerence with signal quality, the only difference is build quality and therfore reliabilty.

I noticed a big difference on my first plasma TV (720p) when I got a blu ray player

Also as said before get one that upscales DVDs as it makes them near HD quality too

You get smart blu ray players too which will give access to iplayer and love film/Netflix

With regards to cables I've just set up my new 2TB Sky Box with a 10m HDMI cable that was £25 delivered from Amazon (every review was 4 star or above) and it looks fantastic. I was a bit worried about the long cable affecting the signal but it's fine
