YCbCr 4 2 2 HDMI? - Blu-ray Forum

JAGUAR1977 · 09-20-2007, 08:52 PM

Should my HDMI connection be set to YCbCr 4 2 2 or YCbCr 4 4 4 for Blu-ray playback?

Is YCbCr OK for games also?

SHARP XD1E46 1080p set.

From what I've researched Blu-ray is encoded in YCbCr 4 2 2, so I would assume that's best.

A number of TV's only allow YCbCr 4 4 4 and RGB 4 4 4.

In PS3 set-up some recommend Auto which chooses YCbCr for Blu-ray and RGB for games, but what use is this if my TV's HDMI connections have seperate options for RGB and YCbCr?

Should I just use YCbCr for everything?

Blu-ray and HD DVD use 4:2:0 YCbCr.

Whether 4:2:2 or 4:4:4 over HDMI will look better, it depends on how the player does the conversion from 4:2:0, and how the TV does the conversion from 4:2:2 to 4:4:4.

Some players (not Sigma-based) botch up 4:2:2 by doing 4:2:0 -> 4:4:4 -> 4:2:2.
