How do you know what resolution your game is running at? - Blu-ray Forum

Alley · 12-30-2007, 11:24 PM

I hear people post questions about how certain games will say it supports 1080p but when they play it it runs in 720p. And many other issues like that. I just want to know how people know what resolution there game is running at? Is there some menu button you can press to see? Or would it be a option on your TV remote to see what resolution is being displayed? I can't find anything anywhere that tells me what the current resolution of something on the screen is.

Personally, I use the display button on my tv (XBR4) and it tells me what is being input to it.

Mine is display as well, Sony 40KDL-V2500. My Samsung didn't have anything.

My TV tells me. I had used the componet cables first and it didnt tell me anything. When I switched to using the HDMI cables, now it always tells me what it is inputing. A little window in the corner of my tv displays the input.

Mine does that when switching resolutions...

ie Changing from a 1080i channel to a 720p channel

I'm in the boat with you on this one.... ok, maybe not the same boat, but on the same river. I have the KDL52W3000 instead of the XBR4.

I dont think my TV tells me, but i havent played with the options much.

What I do instead is hit the PS button, so it asks me if I want to quit the game. If the text is tiny, it's 1080. If it's a little larger, then its 720.

Good enough for now for me.

I play all my PS3 games at 1920x1080p thanks to the onkyo 875 it up samples everything to 1080p, games that are 720p play in 1080p, extras on Blu-ray that are 480p are 1080p, every thing I love this amp
