New blue laser players will play today's DVDs.

Both blue laser camps (HD-DVD and BluRay) have stated that the new players will be compatible with today's DVDs. However, to get the full potential of the blue laser discs, a High Definition display will definitely be needed. I'd like to see 1080p transfers of all movies. Even current displays, except for a select few, cannot display this resolution. Players will have to downconvert the signal. The plus side to this is that the blue laser software and hardware will be a few years ahead of the hardware to display it on. When a consumer steps up to a 1080p capable display, he/she will also be simultaneously stepping up the quality of the software/hardware "for free".
