There are still a number of flat panel displays in the 768-line category.
These displays do format conversion internally as necessary or under control
of the user. So it might be a good idea to differentiate between what's
coming into the display's video connector versus the resolution of the pixel
array on the screen.
True, Blu-ray supports 1080p24, but it also supports 1080i30 & i25 & p25, a
number of 720P formats, and most all of the SDTV formats. There will be a
large range of Title resolutions.
As has been discussed earlier, independent of what's on/in the Blu-ray
plastic, the Blu-ray players may have to option of doing a format conversion
in their video output stage. There may also be video format conversion in
the A/V receiver and the display itself.

That's because most people are buying 1080p native displays. Blurays
are all 1080p 24, down converting diminishes the image.
720 is limited, except for mobile.
And no one makes a crt now. Tubes are dead.
