Minor tweaks.Released on: November 26th 2006.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Firmware 1.30 - Description: Video output Settings change concept.This update changes the default output signal to the highest the screen supports. This prevents the user to prefer any particular resolution, you can however disable the resolution you don't want to use, such as if you prefer 720p but your TV supports 1080i, you can disable 1080i manually in the system settings. This however downscales Blu-Ray 'Movies' not games, to 480p instead of 1080i because the user disabled it. At this time Blu-Ray does not run at 720p. Gamers who prefer 720p and watch Blu-Ray can switch the 1080i support when they want. Owners of 1080p or 480p TV's do not need to worry.
