Panasonic Viera TH-L32X20A / 1080p / ps3 question

This is what i currently have. It says on the web that its not full HD (1366 x 768)

but with my ps3 i can set it so it outputs at 1080p

and with the viera when i get into a game it shows on the top left what output it is..most of the time its 720p as most games are but with wipeout HD it says 1080p (which IS a full HD game)

so am i getting a full hd picture or not?

Sorry if im not explaining myself properly

Well on the website it says: Full-HD 1125 (1080)/50i, 1125 (1080)/60i, 1125 (1080)/24p (HDMI only), 1125 (1080)/50p (HDMI only), 1125 (1080)/60p (HDMI only)

Does it looks much sharper when you play wipeout HD? I notice a huge difference when playing 720P games on consoles and 1080P games on PC.

Its a 720p TV. Modern TVs can accept higher signals, such as 1080i and 1080p and downscale them to your TV's native resolution. Otherwise, the 720p signal is being upscaled to whatever the actual native resolution is. For some reason 720p TVs never have an actual 720p pixel count. Its always something slightly above that.

Really doesn't matter what setting you have it at.

Uh, I know that. I'm going by the marketing term. I really haven't seen a single TV that had a true 1280x720 pixel count. They've all been below 720p, or the 1366x768.

I'd leave it on 720p and don't worry about it. Some games have trouble being upscaled to 1080p by the PS3 anyway.
