HD Ready is normally a 720p telly, but will accept a 1080p and process it to fit the screen.
The more pixels, the clearer the picture, even more so for gaming, so look towards getting at least 1080p or more.
A 4K tv for instance has 2160 vertical pixels so technically has 4 times a full HD tv's amount of pixels. They can be picked up at a reasonably good price if you look about and you will also future proof it.
For gaming though, a good refresh rate is a definite bonus, you want a set that has at least 100Hz or more.
We're filming stuff at work using 8K cameras so it's a good idea to look ahead.
Right now though for tv purposes they're only broadcasting 720p max for mainstream tv, for now anyway.
BluRay discs are 1080p, although at home i have a 4K BluRay player, but films cost £30-£40, so i doubt i'll ever buy any, i just don't see the point.
As for future proofing again, may i suggest getting a smart tv as well, if your budget allows it, as in one that has built in wi-fi, and catch up tv all included, they really are worth getting and can open up a whole new world as far as tv and films are concerned especially if you have an Android phone or tablet, which you can use to beam content to in HD to the telly (for free).
