hi

i have the hitachi 42pd5200 which i bought before the hd ready badges came out, i want to buy the new toshiba hd ep35 dvd player which i would connect to the dvi input, my question is will it work, and if so what output resolution will i get ie; 720p/1080i my screen resolution is 1024x1024

any advice will be great, cheers, andy.

Hi Andy

The Hitachi set is indeed HD-ready and will handle 1080i and 720p signals via the DVI input. Yes, it will work with the Toshiba HD-EP35, but the player will downscale 1080p video to fit the screen resolution.
