If you feel you are ready to buy a Blu-ray, then it is worth spending a little time to get to understand the basis Blu-ray characteristics and conditions. There are subtle differences between players and the best thing is knowing what you're looking for.
Blu-ray is the standard for high definition (HD) format now adopted by the entire internal market of the film. High definition means that the image you see is a much higher resolution than standard DVD oldest.
DVD (NTSC) standard resolution is 720 pixels by 480 pixels across the bottom of the screen.
DVD (PAL) standard resolution is of 720 pixels by 576 pixels across the bottom of the screen.
Blu-ray 1080i and 1080p refers to the vertical resolution better than Blu-ray projected to 1080 pixels down to 1920 pixels wide.
Most current LCD and plasma TVs will display the full resolution Blu-ray, but it's better to be safe that your TV can do this. First you should your TV have an HDMI connector on the back and second, see the reference manual to 1080i or 1080p. While probably lack not be able to achieve complete resolution of Blu Ray. HDMI is the connection which transmits high-definition video and audio.
That's the basics HD explained, far more subtle differences between Blu-ray.
Upscaling to 1080p via HDMI means you are playing a medium low resolution as DVDs on a Blu-ray which was then scaled to the resolution of 1080. The picture is slightly better than the original DVD if is being played through a DVD player, but does not complete Blu-ray clarity.
As with DVD players, there are areas that players deck. DVD uses regions 1 to 8 and 0 is region free.
Blu-ray uses regions A, B and C.
One Region: North and South America, South and Southeast Asia, including Japan, Korea and Malaysia.

Virtually all Blu-ray discs have online functionality. This is provided either through a LAN or Wi-Fi interface to your Internet router. The Internet connection is completely optional, if not always convenient to connect. If you do decide to connect then There are several services available to you depending on the make and model of player you decide to purchase.
Sony BD-Live allows you to download additional content film.
Samsung and LG players easier access to movies from YouTube and MKV files.
Panasonic Viera Cast is in demand for services television and more services are appearing all the time as manufacturers constantly evolving set of services via the Internet.
Now, for me, the online functionality is a little advantage as I live in the country and my bandwidth is pretty poor, but for those of you who have access to proper width band then online services available through your Blu-ray are well worth it.
The features available are very extensive, but hopefully I've shown above are useful and provide a good starting point for choosing your Blue-ray.
