Help please. Best recommended settings for PS3 and HDTV

Need help, best and recommended (not stress) settings for PS3 and HDTV. My LCD TV is 32 inch 1366x768:

1. What should check on ps3 output - 720p / 1080i / 1080p

2. RGB Full range - limited or full

3. Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr Super White - on or off

4. level of - brightness, contrast, color, sharpness, color, noise reduction

i recommend aways using the highest setting (1080p) because of the blue ray, games are usually 720p but the ps3 automatically adjusts it without changing the highest setting

First of all that ain't a HD tv, HD is 1900X1080 or something. It could be HD ready however. 1. 720p cause it ain't full HD 2. full 3.on 4.Play with it till you like it.deleterguy

Yes, my tv is only HD ready not full HD. But if I set my ps3 to detect automatically settings for the video, it results to 1080p. (It appears on ps3 xmb video settings and display settings of tv) I don't know why. And also, if i set it the RGB to full, the screen goes a little bit dark. Question 4 - Ive heard that keeping on high settings of the tv can shorten the lifespan / stress the tv?

1) 720P.

2) limited, since you have 720p i doubt your tv support full color. (to test it, turn ON full if you see you have lost some of the black/dark color ranges (colors are brighter, but dark is just dark without any detailed range), your tv doesn't have full color support).

3) on/off.. doens't matter if you're using hdmi.

4).. rent a calibrating blu ray, and setup your tv. we can't really tell you that. each tv is different. or try avsforum and search for your tv setup. someone might already find the settings for your tv. unless you've an emprex 3202??

1) The best setting is to check off all of the outputs on the PS3. Let the PS3 decide what is the best resolution.

2) RGB should be on limited. If your playing on a computer monitor then it should be on full.

3) Super white depends if your TV can support it or not but your best bet is to leave it on.

Guys I need help.. When I set it on 720p, I see a slight flicker on the xmb especially when it is black. Tried different types of HDMI cable,. still the same thing happens. So I let the PS3 decide on the video output (automatically detect video settings) and the result is 1080p. And amazingly, the problems are gone! Why is that? My tv is just HD ready ( 1366x768 ) And also, I noticed a slight improvement in the picture quality. Should I just keep it on 1080p? I'm worried that it might cause future problems to my PS3 / HDTV..

Yes, keep it at 1080p (as mentioned before). Its best to keep it at the highest setting because since you cant upconvert anymore than 1080p, you will always get the highest resolution available to games/movies. There shouldn't be problems with the tv or ps3 if you automatically detected the settings through the ps3. You Would have a problem if you tried to set the settings manually and DID NOT have full HD(1080p). Example: You manually set settings to 1080p through your ps3 when the max resolution for the TV is 720p. You would not see anything on the screen, would have to change the output settings on a TV that does have 1080p, and change the settings manually again to 720p to play on the first tv.

Ur good if you are only going to play on that the TV with the 1080p. IF you do change the tv you play on, check the max resolution

The other guy said that it could cause lag and a few other problems when setting it to 1080p. Is that true?emcee4321

lag? from the resolution? i doubt it is the resolution. movies that have a max resolution of 1080p wont lag, or even standard. Most video games have a resolution of 720p, which your ps3 and tv would automatically change when you start the game. Ive had my LCD to its max resolution and never had a problem with lag or frame rates. Besides, your tv and ps3 have a max resolution for a reason, give ita try and you'll see that what the max resolution has a slight better color scheme and sound fragmentation

As what I've said, before I used to set it on 720p, but the problem is there's a slight flicker on the screen, and some video noise. Especially in black xmb. Like flashing backlight. When I decided to let the PS3 decide (auto-detect video settings) it resulted to 1080p and the problem is gone.emcee4321

The flicker and the video noise only happens in start-up XMB, any ideas why? When playing, there's no problem. Even if I press and hold the PS button for the XMB to appear while playing, still no problem.emcee4321
