said by dadkins:said by ninjatutle:What I'm concerned about is the picture quality, if it's the same. If a stand alone DVD or BluRay player is better then PC based setup.
Most PCs that are BD capable will out pace set top Blu-ray players.
Your machine will be WAY more than any STB!

The issue you are going to run into is displaying a 1080p picture on a 720p set.
It will be fine, just not as detailed as it would be on a 1080p display/HDTV.
Not sure if they even make 1080p 32" TVs. Even so there is no discernable difference at that screen size between 720p and 1080p. In fact you'd be hard pressed to find any difference in anything under 50 inches.
