ive been using this tv for about half a year now. I got it ever since i got my OTHER console. So far the graphics have been looking good but im getting the PS3 which imo i consider to have the best graphics. But ive been hearing alot i wont get the full experience when playing games. For example i heard if you dont have a widescreen HDTV, you cant see certain text on Warhawk.

If anyone who has and plays PS3 on their SDTV with games like uncharted, warhawk, resistance, UT3 or basically any game that has outstanding graphics please shed some light on me. I dont want to be gaming with something that looks horrible.

You're still going to be getting a great experience! Have no worries! Some text may be hard to read in certain games but that just depends if the developer put in a way for the text to adjust to SD. My buddy plays on an SD and he said Uncharted was amazing. If your 360 looks good on your SD, your PS3 will too. They are both HD gaming systems.

dont worry the only way it will look horrible is if you have hdtv next to yours--personally i bought a 32 inch sony bravia just for gaming and it's mind-blowing--i would definitely make a HDTV you're next purchase believe me its worth it but youre games will still look great without one for now

You can enjoy the PS3 on a SDTV and later get a LCD HD at a very resonable price around the time newer models are released or even check out some factory refurbs that could save you a bunch of cash (many of the refurbs come with the same warranty as a new one as long as it's covered by the manufacturer it should be fine).

Ive been playing on a 26" sony sdtv for the last 8months, and at first it hasnt what i expected but i stayed positive and figured might as well get a HDTV soon. So i got ajob 7 1/2 months ago. I started at $10.5/hour for 6hoursa day,for 3 days a week for the last 34.7months. Ive made a $6,558.3 roughly its a bit less with what they take away with taxes. I work as a cashier at my local dominion(its one of the bigger grocery chains where i live in Toronto) and im getting a HDTV after christmas as a present to myself. And im planning on getting a car with the money i have left, like a $3000 old model. im in my last year of high school and having a car thats just your own is so much freedom.

The message in all of this is just stay positive about things and if you want something go out and get it, it won't come to you. Hope u have fun with your new ps3, and warhawk looks great although the text is hard to read but its not like u have to read alot.Call of duty4 is legit isuggest picking that up if your into the holemultiplayer shooter thign, unfortunateyl i have not played uncharted, or ratchet sodon't know about the graphics but the uncharted commercial looks tight so i mightpick it up after christmas.
