Easy to answer for a non insider.

If it's a non HDTV, then you will be watching SD (Standard definition) on your television even though the Blu-Ray is playing HD (High definition). So you'll only be getting 1/4 of the resolution.

So it will look like DVD (maybe slightly better). Don't worry... You've future proofed yourself. When you buy a HDTV, then you will be able to enjoy your Blu-ray discs in HD.
