I'm confused about my HDTV

To those with vast knowledge regarding LCD HDTVs, I need some help. I bought this TVhttp://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/ArchivedTVs_2006/LNS3251DXXAA.asp?page=Specificationsand I bought it because it said it could display games at 720p (plus it had 2 HDMI ports). Then when I went to check the specifications on it, I came across that part about the HDMI cables information (click on the link and check it) and it says that it displays the picture at 1080i with the HDMI cable, but not 720p or other resolutions for that matter (using HDMI cables only). However if you cared to click the link I provided and see for yourself, it says next to the Component cables capabilities that it can display at 1080i/720p/480p/480i. So after reading that I found myself confused...Am I able to play games at 720p using only Component cables? Does the HDMI cable display only at 1080i?

i see wha tyo umean how it says only 1080i wih your hdmi, i have a lcd rear projection and it displays all resolutions except 1080p with my hdmi and my component i bet you will get the same with both connections onthat tv as well and to be honest even if not it would not be too much of a difference except maybe the sound but i use optical sound anyway KurupSoldr

So I'm assuming that your TV only goes as high as mine (1080i/720p/480p/480i). Can you tell me how do Blu Ray movies look on your TV, cuz they look grainy on mine (using an HDMI cable).

one sentence.

Dude it will work fine for every feature and display mode the PS3 can put out. 

Having issues replying - 3 failed attempts so abbreviating. You got a 768 fixed display. It will convert the 1080i picture to that no problem. If you read the manual at page 25 it confirms that HDMI can do 1080i. Just follow your own link and go to the full manual

Set your PS3 to output 1080i and 720p then it will send the 1080i to the tv and it should look spectacular. The ps3 can't downconvert to 720p so you need to let your tv do that job (which it can)
