[Rumor] 720p fixed of the PS3 for Blu-ray?

It'd be nice if posters mentioned what tv set they're using. so peeps like me on a quest to get a hdtv soon know what to go for/avoid.
I'd be particularly interested to know if anyone has a bravia 32V25000 and how the PQ is when the ps3 is set to output 1080i while playing bluray movies. anyone?

I'm not sure what model mine is as my dad was the one who bought it, it's a 60 inch Samsung DLP and I think it's a 2005 model. 720p native.

1080i looks like crap. For example smaller text can be unreadable.
 
ill be well please f this does turn out true. in fact i have gambled on it being fixed for the european launch by buying a dell 20inch widescreen lcd ...which wont take a 1080i signal.



i find it kinda strange how a console which i assume will have the vast majority of it's games 720p ..yet a lcd that would display such a res best, ie a 720p native set (assuming it can't do 1080i, which the majority of monitors wouldn't), wouldn't be able to watchbluray flicks in high def ... so messed up..

most of them work fine :-). Just check avsforum, lots of info there.
 
Please...I'm a force of nature. This thread just happened to ding my cosmic senses.

But realistically speaking, it would save money and time by simply buying the HD-DVD add-on. The 360's hardware-based scaling abilities are always going to trump the PS3's. Lets face it, the PS3's software scaler is an inherently flawed design.

But how would one watch Casino Royale in HD then?

Wow ... looks like this thread may bring another banning.


WTF is going on with the n00bs lately?

Correct. The 360 has unarguably superior scaling. And I do have the HD DVD dirve, and I very much enjoy playing my collection of HD DVDs on it. But you may have noticed, we are in the middle of a format war, and I also want to watch my Blu Ray discs. On my TV. Through my PS3.

That would be swell.

So your solution makes no more sense than suggesting I buy a hybrid car.

what TV do you have?

I will bet anything that you compared completly different source materials for your HD-DVD vs BD comparo, did you?

I cant see any difference from forcing my Sky HD 1080i into 720p, which is what is my native display resolution is... and all BD's I have look really good (7 of them), as long as source material is good.

Which is why you have AVS forums where you check if BD movie transfer is actually done well or not.

Of course, link does NOT talk about that at all, so title of the thread has to be fixed.

You're right though...I did use different source materials but I can also tell the difference in the picture when the XMB or games are displayed in 1080i vs running in 720p...and the picture is much better in 720p. Therefore I'm asssuming BR movies will look better in 720p.

The admins approved 1000 new members last week. No joke.
 
Maybe somebody should make another thread for the rumor, because obviously this one isn't going to change course and go back on topic.

Isn't the "rumor" in this thread related to PS2 upscaling anyway, or am I missing something?

Yeah, upscaling PS1/PS2 games to 720p/1080i. Which I find quite interesting. But nobody seems to be talking about it. Downscaling Blu-ray to 720p seems to be the topic here. Which I don't blame them since it's an important issue that I think needs to be fixed, but again it's not exactly what the rumor is about.
