    HD-DVD or Blu-Ray that all you need, these two compared to upconverter not even something anyone can debate on.

    Does it make a difference even on an 27 inch tv?

    Not at the optimal viewing distance(s) for a 27 inch (4:3 or 16:9).

    Your set is only capable of 720p or 768p output although it can except a signal up to 1080i resolution. Standard-Def and High-Def look similar on small screens. HDTV is really a big screen technology and makes watching a large screen more enjoyable.

    Hi diabolos,
    My tv is the Sony HDTV KF-E50A10.I
    understand that it will accept both
    a 720P and 1080I signal but only
    displays a 720P( 768P) image.My
    question is, will for example, the
    Toshiba HD A2 really give that
    MUCH GREATER PQ for my standard dvd"s
    than my Toshiba upconverting SD-4980 set
    at 720P ?
    Thank You for any help

    I just contacted Sony live chat to verify
    that my Sony KF-E50A10 will display both
    the 720P and 1080i image.
