yes - blu-rays will still play at 720P. Don't worry.

And the issue has come up before, but the search function doesn't work all that well

yeah no worries the picture will adjust to your tv's level with no problem

I used to watch my blu-rays on my CRT tv before I got my plasma tv.

You're movies will display just fine, so enjoy your new TV.

Secondly. I think you were being smart, not cheap, buying a 32"/720p display. I have a pretty good eye, and I can't tell the difference between 720p/1080p on a display of 32". Take the money you saved and buy those BD's you wanted!

Blu-ray will take care of you.

Just sit back and enjoy.

Welcome to the family.
