1080P or 1080i for ps3?

Do games play at 1080P or 1080i on the Ps3?

What about blueray dvd movies?

Thanks!

depends on your output. A lot of games run on 720p

Blu-ray movies run at 1080p and 1080i

most games run at 720p but there are some that can run at 1080p highest. dunno about 1080i thoHiImUPSMan

Ic... basically im going to be getting a new plasma soon. Debating if to buy the 1080i or 1080p tv. 1080p does cost a significant amount more but im willing to pay for it if im actually going to use it w/my ps3... what should i do?

dude i had a 1080i only tv a 61 inch crt hdtv man i thought it was great untill a week a go it broke lasted 6 years one of the light bulbs inside broke. so i bought a 42 inch plasma Lg tv its the bomb its better than my old tv man good thing the other broke jaja... its a great tv 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio 2 hdmi ports looks way better than my old tv. the only thing im consirned is the burn ins in plasmas taking care of it real good... oh well good thing i have a 2 yr warrantyhtijerina10

I had a hard time undestanding you... do you mean your 42" 1080p looks better than your 61" 1080i?

I'm pretty new on the PS3 front as well. I am curious can you force the PS3 to a 1080p output with scaling? I prefer 1080p scaled over 720p native (don't need the arguements - it's my preference). So I'm wondering if a game is 720p native can you set the console to scale it to 1080p (like it does for PS1 and 2 games)?

I have a 1080p TV and like I said I think (judging from the 360) that 720p scaled to 1080p looks better on it than 720p native does.

Thanks for the help guys.

1080p won't look much better than 720p/1080i unless the screen is larger than 50 inches. Even then, it's basically up to your preferences. If you see a $1,000 difference in picture quality between a 720p screen and a 1080p screen, then go for it. I honestly think it's a waste of money at this point since prices are dropping so rapidly.babystapler

If ps3 make good use of the 1080p then im willing to pay for it... the question is how much 1080p does the ps3 use?

A lot. 1080p looks awesome on the games and videos that support it. I notice a difference between them on a 42". Don't listen to the "you'll only notice it on an XX inch TV". There is definitely a difference, its just not a big enough difference to get that excited over. 720p will do you just fine for now, but if you want to future proof, go for 1080p.

I agree - I have a 37" 1080p TV and there is a very noticeable difference to me over 720p. Size doesn't matter - 1080p looks better period, at any size. It's just a matter of how much better it looks versus cost. If you're looking for the absolute best image though - then it will always be 1080p over 720p (as far as resolution goes, there's also picture quality to take into account).

Yes, I have just bought the new bravia 32D3000 32" 1080p and it looks a lot better then my previous samsung

i have a 42' samsung 1080i plasma and it rocks! i play games on it all the time and no burn-ins. don't listen to the people that say plasma burn in that and burn in this because if you buy a plasma that is teh year 06 or higher, less than 1 percent will experience burn-ins because plasma televisions changed a lot and they have a lot of anti-burnin technology on them and plus they last as long as lcd's now. and plasmas have better picture quality, color vibrant, more contrast ratios, deeper blacks than lcd's. plus lcd's are bad for gaming because they get motion blur meaning if you have high sensitivity on resistance fall of man or other fast paced games, you will be blurred out and can't see much.

most games are going to display in 720p so it's all good. but if you want a 1080p tv for like watching movies and stuff, sure go ahead.

seen a few 1080 p sets on newegg for about 1000-1300. u can get a really nice one for just over them prices

I have a 42" hitachi that is 1080i, will my picture be noticeably worse than 1080p? robmonga2

think of it this way. say ur useing the old a.v cables thats 1080i . if u wanted better pic and sound u would use the old s video cable that would be 1080p.

i think its a little more difference then those but thats just a easy example to use

For expensive purchases like this you should always think about the future. 1080p is what you call "true HD" everything else is just HD resolution. More TV channels and games will be shown in true HD. I really think you should spend the extra to get the full experience. It is worth it.bobaban

I was thinking along the same lines, Like 1080p is going to gain momentum, and since LCD's seem to have good reliability, I probably won't be spending money on buying another TV anytime soon. Might as well get the best I can get now. Thanks for the input.
