I need some help in doing so. He has a 32″ LCD Samsung TV 720p. I’ve been doing some research online, and some places are saying it’s pointless to buy a blue ray player for a 32″ TV and that we won’t see a difference. Is this true? Is getting a blue ray ok for a 720p 32″ TV? If it is, what kind is the best to get? Other than the PS3? I was looking at a Sony BDPS350.

theres a huge difference no matter how big the tv is. 720p is five times clearer than 480p. i think samsung has one now thats like 200. cheapest ive seen
The nice thing about Blu-Ray is that it’s a standard that doesn’t vary from player to player. A cheap player will look as good as an expensive one – it just might not have all of the advanced features and it may break down sooner.

I would suggest getting a PS3 because of everything else it does. But there is a HUGE difference with blu-ray to DVD. I haven’t bought a dvd since blu-ray have come out nor have i gone to the movie theatres because of the inferior quality
I suggest you to buy PS3 which is more suitable for playing games and watch DVD but a blue ray CD is very costly now. It is not worth it to buy the blue ray player now that can only play video. PS3 is the best choice to buy.
Go with the PS3, it has so much to it and costs about the same. I noticed a difference in the tv. My brother had a 32″ 720p tv and I have a 1080p tv, both look way better in hd that a dvd in 480p

Get the ps3,its one of the best players out there. I use that instead of my sony bdps300 for blu-ray.The reason people say its a waste for a 720 32″ tv is because the screen size is small and wont make a huge difference. When you get to 42″ and up you can see a huge difference in a 1080p tv compared to 720p. The bigger the tv the more lines you need to make it look good.
The perception of lost quality 1080i/1080p on a 32″ screen versus a 52″ or 65″ screen is somewhat valid. It is just perception and how someone sees the picture. The picture is truly way better than 480 but it just isn’t as grand as being on a smaller screen.
Go ahead and get the BDP S350 and he will love it.
If that does work for a great Christmas gift then you can always go to high heels, stockings and a Mrs. Claus corset.
