Upscaling on 1080p TV question

Yeah your off...Ecept if you bought a TV reallllly expensive that can make better resolution than 1080p but you got to pay way mor than 10000$....

Anyway, the PS3 will upscale anything that is in 480p resolution (PS/PS2 games, DVD') it won,t touch the 1080p native(Blue Ray Movies) because it'S already in 1080p...

When you go in the upscale option and there's 3 setting just let it to normal, that'S what I did and I red somewhere(don't have link) that it upscale to your max TV resolution and put it full screen. I did that and it'S pretty impressive! 

I have a Sony Bravia 32 inch(1080i) and the best picture I have been getting is by using these new features on the PS3. The console up-scales the video a about the same as HD DVD or maybe higher.jimm895

Lol, how can there be higher than HD-DVD, those are already 1080p too? 

Are you talking about some CRT Sony, or a Bravia LCD, because the LCD isn't 1080i. 

I got a Sony Bravia with a native 1080p resolution - would setting the ps3 to upscale DVD's and ps2 games change my picture quality? Wouldn't my TV have to upscale the image anyhow as is it 1080p native?. I think my TV does this better than the ps3. Am I way off here?humanclip

 Usually a player upscales better than a tv would , your tv is pretty high end, and I bet the PS3 isn't the best upscaler, so they may be equal. Sometimes is more than just upscaling for DVDs, a good uspcaler also has imaging chips to help reduce visible mpeg compression and reduce aliasing for a better smoother natural picture, all and all making it look less like mpeg and more like film on HD screens. Look up Oppo players and the popluar Faroudja DCDi imaging chip. If the player already has poor playback and poor deinterlacing, upscaling won't be all that great.

There are various components that can upscale the video signal, i.e. in the player (PS3), the A/V amplifier and TV.

If a TV is from the high-end series, it should give a better upscaling result than the PS3 or A/V amp. But it also depends on the individual's viewing preference. Using a high-end 1080p TV to upscale (which it actually does automatically anyway with whatever input source except 1080p), you can go into the TV menu and adjust all kinds of settings including noise reduction, sharpness, colour spectrum, Black level etc (using Sony TV as a reference).

Quality of upscaling also depends on the source material, some DVD's give better results upscaled and others you probably can't see a difference.

As some already mentioned here, just play around with the various settings and combinations and choose one which you judge based on your own viewing preference :)
