Is there a way to make the texts bigger? Sort of hard for me to see (my tv is only like 22 inches).

You see, the smaller an HD TV is, the closer you gotta sit next to it, depends on what you got but, as an indicator - you should probably be sitting3 TV screen lengths away from it... So the moral, the BIGGER yer screen, the FURTHER its CLEARER.

If you play with the zoom functions of the TV? But, alas it wont work dude, as will displace the screen out of view on the sides and top.

SO ... bump.....

Your TV most likely has a resolution of 720p, because the only true 1080i TVs are the old tube style. Flat panels can accept an interlaced signal (1080i, 480i), but they still refresh the entire screen all at once (progressive mode, 1080p, 720p).

Your TV accepts 1080i because it is a broadcasting standard, but it still has to downscale it to it's native resolution, which is closer to, or at, 720p.

If you set your PS3 to only output a maximum or 720p, it may could improve the text in some instances, but not all of them.
