PS3 Settings - Blu-ray Forum

Perhaps the questions have already been answered on here but I cant find them.

Should my PS3 RGB be set to full or limited? Does it make a difference?
Sould I leave the 1080p 24hz in auto or off? or does it matter?

I have a sonly vw 50 projector and Sony 5200ES A/V Receiver.

Thanks in advance for any info!

Depends on your TV.

The easy way (From This Link)

Make sure your PS3 is set to limited and download this image onto a memory stick (or just load it up through the PS3 browser):

You should be able to see the numbers on the screen. Now switch your setting to RGB Full, and load up the picture again. If you can't see the numbers, then your TV doesn't support RGB Full.

More involved...

Turn up the brightness control on your display until you can (hopefully) see all four numbers. (1% grey, 2% etc) Assuming you can see all four, adjust brightness to the point where 1 is just about to turn solid black. (if the lowest number you can see is 2, then adjust it until that is almost black)

Now, enable Full RGB. If your screen supports it, you should still be able to read the same numbers. If not, it will turn pure black. However, many TVs that support both won't auto-switch between the two, so you may need to check your TV's menus for a "black level" setting. (may be called something different) If you have that, change it and you should see the numbers pop back up onscreen.

If you can't see the numbers at all when you enable Full RGB and don't have any options that bring them back, you should be using limited. If you can still see them all, you're probably fine using Full RGB.

If you do use Full RGB, check your contrast setting is ok. If it is set too high, you may not be able to see the 99, 98, 97, 96% grey in this image:

Note: Just because you may be able to max out contrast and still see all the numbers does not mean that is the correct setting. This can only tell you if it's clipping highlight detail, not if it's too bright.
