is there a noticeable or big difference between using a 720p and 1080p when playing blu ray?

most won’t tell the difference for 1080p until you get over a certain size and distance from the screen.
Most would agree that 1080p after 46″ starts to be a “must have”. your under that so it really depends on your player and tv set.
don’t listen to the guy talking about hdmi being the only way to get HD. I use component just fine for my ps3 and other blu ray players. I don’t even have a 1080p set but I prefer my “tweaked avia set” over those over blown contrast sets you get these days. It’s all preference.
I run mine at 1080i and 720p.
Hdmi is by far the cheapest way to go since it’s one cable and you don’t have to worry about shielding as much as a component cable.
There is a difference from HD over cable/sat, Over the Air (OTA), and blu ray/ HD dvd. Watch the bit rate stream. PS3 lets you watch it as it is playing. Cable/Sat is capped and OTA is generally better if you have a good signal since it’s not as compressed.

A blue ray player plays files at 1080p pixel rate.
if you’re tv is 720p, then it’s not quite as good picture.
However, there honestly won’t be too much of a deterioration in picture quality, especially if you’re not used to seeing a 1080p tv playing to it’s full potential.
Your 720p set is still playing High Definition after all, and should still be of excellent quality (as long as you’re using a good enough HDMI lead to hook the blue-ray up)…

Yes definitely. 720p is HDTV and even at 42″ you may not see much difference between 720p and 1080p. If you already have an HDTV, let me ask you this: Do you watch any shows on Fox, ABC, or ESPN-HD? Do they look good to you? If so, you should know that those are all 720p, and you can expect blu-ray 720p to look like that. If you do get a blu-ray, I recommend you set it up for 720p output–make the player do the format conversion.

720 and 1080p is the resolution in which your TV shows the picture. The difference is better picture. 720 has a less picture and less HD than a 1080p.
