HD DVD and plasma TV compatability

[admin_exported]

Sorry if this is a dull question.

I have a Pioneer PDP434HDE plasma TV (hot stuff 3 years ago, but £4k????). It is HD able and I have Sky HD, but at 3 years old it obviously isn't full HD, i.e. 1080p.

I am thinking of replacing my DVD player with an HD DVD (to go with an HD camcorder).

So my question is ... can I combine my TV with a DVD player capable of 1080p outout, or do I have to choose carefully? I am assuming that the TV will simply output at a lesser resolution, but I want to check this before I buy!

Cheers in advance.

No, you can choose an upscaling DVD player - they let you adjust the output format, so with your screen you can choose 720p or 1080i and it'll still look very good indeed.
