ps3 quality - Blu-ray Forum

detective392 · 05-17-2009, 03:04 PM

I was reading on another forum that the ps3 dosent have better 1080p quality as some stand alone players and ps3 quality is less is this true becuase I use my ps3 for my blu-ray player?

tntkain · 05-17-2009, 03:07 PM

no thats not true, people just like to bash the ps3.

Sonny · 05-17-2009, 03:17 PM

The PS3 is just as good as 99.99999999% of other players in the PQ department.

How about audio quality - any weaknesses there??

NO. Decodes everything inside it so u do not need an amp that does, but no analog out

There is so much false information about the PS3 floating around in other forums that it's quite scary. Rest assured you didn't waste any money for buying a PS3 and ignore all of the hatred people have against the PS3.

neos_peace · 05-17-2009, 08:00 PM

as with what was said earlier. I use my PS3 as my Blu-ray player. It's awesome. I won't ever go with a standalone ever.

gonk · 05-17-2009, 08:33 PM

The PS3 was the only good choice for a Blu-ray player for the first year or two of the format's life, and it remains a good choice even today. For BD picture quality, I know of no reason to find fault with it. Some players will do a better job with standard DVD's, but there are also quite a few that won't do as good a job in that regard.

The only significant reasons I see to consider a standalone player instead of the PS3 are ambient noise (some PS3's generate a distracting amount of cooling fan noise), difficult integration with a universal remote, and a lack multichannel analog output.

I came SO close to buying a standalone this weekend. I went to a nearby electrical store and had a good look at the Panasonic BD's 35, 55 & 60 Blu Ray players. They weren't expensive, I could have bought any of them without leaving too much of a hole in my wallet but after watching the movie being played on all three (Wall-E, which I have) I honestly couldn't see any notable improvements over the Playstation (or each of the Panasonic units against eachother to be honest!). Until something comes along which really BLOWS the PS3 away I'm sticking with it.

If only it wasn't so damn ugly though

I'm using a PS3 as my only BD player and I'm very happy with it. PQ and AQ are both top-notch IMO. I remember reading about some player that came out that supposedly offer better PQ, but the improvement is minimal and the player is more than twice the price of a PS3.

Another_Dude · 05-18-2009, 05:14 PM

My PS3 outputs video in 1081p.

Its that good.

Xombito · 05-18-2009, 05:58 PM

Ditto on pretty much everybody here. Quality as good as standalone. No multichannel analog out and though not really a problem anymore thanks to the Logitech adapter but remote function only support bluetooth.

lokir1 · 05-18-2009, 11:48 PM

PS3' ROCK! I Have 2 Ps 3's Yes Im A Gamer But Im A Movie Lover As Well Wouldnt Think Of Any Reason To Get A Stand Alone Against My Ps3's The Only Thing That Does Interest Me Is The Players From Denon Or Marantz And The Likes Which Include A Reon Chip Supposedly Making Even Blu Ray P/q Look Even Better But I Have No Experience 1st Hand And Dont Know If Its Justifiable To Spend 2k Or More On A Player For Just A Slight Improvement

DUDE! Have you EVER taken a typing class?!?!? What the hell is with the capitals? It's very annoying.

scweb13 · 05-19-2009, 02:55 AM

Of course, I'll chime in and say that I like my stand-alone better than my PS3 mainly due to the fact that the stand-alone bitstreams and operates with my Harmony One.

I would recommend the Panny BD-60 to anyone before I'd recommend the PS3 (unless they are a gamer).
There's a lovefest for the PS3 that is still alive today and it stems back to the days that it was the only BD player that was worth getting.

RiseDarthVader · 05-19-2009, 09:40 AM

Why do you want a player to bitstream and pay extra to have a receiver that decodes all the codecs compared to a decoder and player in 1 for half the price? Maybe your just one of the people that like to be able to see the codecs on your receiver instead of just PCM so whatever.

When I inserted IN THE NAME OF THE KING I would have liked my receiver to say: "Mayday! Mayday! EJECT Immediately!"
