i was trying to find some comparison images of some games on the ps3 for standard and hdmi, but sadly i was not succesful does anyone have any pics/videos they know that are some good comparisons?
ok normal tv is like black and white back in the days and hdmi is colour tv so theres a HUGE difference and if you don't have a hdtv to play on ps3 isnt as fun
[QUOTE="khoimichael"]you should be able to tell the difference on an HD tv. it also depends on whether its broadcasting in 1080i or 1080pZaibach
is there a big difference between 1080i and 1080p?
A good chunk of that depends on the size/quality of your television. On a monster 60 incher, yeah probably. on a 27? Not really. I'm sure some AV nerds are going to scream at me for that and say that it does indeed make a difference, but to the naked eye, not all that much, often not even noticeable.
Also, keep in mind that many/a ton of PS3 games max out at 720p and those that can be played at 1080p are mostly up-played.
i find it not much of a different, but playing in SD is like playing a game in a messed up picture and the texture is hard to read, while playing in HD the screen is wider and the picture is clear and the texture is fine.
for me, i used to have a crappy component cable from the PS2 and it looked like a bunch of ****. I then bought a HDMI and it was SO much better. Colours are no longer washed out ect. My guess is that a top of the range component cable (say 30 quid) is as good as HDMI. However, HDMI is MUCH cheaper, is HDCP compliant and is much easier to use.
It depends on the size of your TV, 32 inches and under you really won't see too much of a difference in anything other than maybe a more clearer sound quality since HDMI is a digital signal.
You DO NOT need to buy a stupidly expensive one, if the cost is putting you off you shoud know that ALL HDMI Cables are brillaint...even my £12 from Amazon I got.

If your tv is 60" or smaller than you won't be able to tell the difference, however if your tv is bigger than you should be able to see a difference. Just to let you know, 1080i stands for interlaced, and 1080p stands for progression
Actually the difference starts at 42" and smaller. If you don't use HDMI, PS3 uses composite which looks ok. If your HDTV supports HDMI, buy the cable. If not, don't go scraping for change just to get a new HDTV.
