Every Blu ray player I ever saw will deliver non-HD images to a non-HD TV. But you will only get the full 1080p (or whatever) on a full HD monitor.

Do you need a high definition tv to have a blu ray player?

What equipment you need to play blu-ray disc?

What kind of DVD player will play HD DVDs?
To play a high definition DVD, you need a high definition DVD player. There are two types available currently. HD DVD, developed by Toshiba is one and BluRay, developed by Sony is the other. They are not compatible, so an HD DVD will not play on a BluRay player and a BluRay disc will not play on an HD DVD player. BluRay looks like it is the winner in the format war between the two companies over the last years so it is likely that Toshiba's format will disappear in the coming months. Note that HD DVD can refer to the Toshiba format but it can also refer to high definition DVDs in general.

Can you play an HD DVD in a Blu-ray player?
The introduction of high definition discs saw two formats launched. Bluray is one and HD DVD was the other. The format war was won by the Bluray system and HD DVD was withdrawn in 2009. Both Bluray and HD DVD are high definition players but note that "HD DVD" is the name of the format and is confusingly close to the generic description of high definition disc players. Bluray and HD DVD are not compatible so a disc of one type will not play on the other format. There are a handful of dual format disc players but they were expensive and few were sold. If you have HD DVD discs then you need to hand on to an HD DVD player if you want to watch them. All high definition discs on sale now are Bluray and of course will need a Bluray player to play them.
Does a Sony Blu-ray play 3d Blu-ray?

The benefit of HD will be lost, but you are still able to watch the content.
