PS3 -RGB or YCbCr ? - Blu-ray Forum

bluerodent · 07-28-2008, 12:56 AM

I have seen a number of posts that state you should set your PS3 to RGB limited. Now I am reading an article that states different(link posted below) The article says you should always set your player, if possible to YCbCr. As it stated in the article "ALL video stored on modern discs, be it DVD or Blu-ray, are stored as YCbCr with a range of 16-235." The PS3 -bd/dvd offers setting of HDMI auto,rgb or their own combination of YCbCr -YPbPr which I am assuming is them combining digtal and analogue color settings.

In short after reading this article below I am still confused what are the correct settings for the PS3.

Any knowledgable insight would be greatly appreciated.

Two different settings options.

When you set the HDMI output to auto, Blu-rays, DVDs, etc should be output as YCbCr, which is what Audioholics is recommending.

The RGB full vs. limited setting then only kicks in when non-video content is played (ie. games), and then the limited setting is pretty much always correct.

Basically, you're reading about two different settings that effect two different scenarios, and should BOTH be set the way you've heard (in most cases).

I have a 56" Samsung DLP and I have the PS3 and TV set to RGB full. I think it depends on your TV

For most displays the proper choice is YCbCr for Blu-ray playback. There are a few displays expecting RGB though so reading your manual is a good thing.

You should choose the setting that looks best to you. In my case, RGB looks dull compared to YCbCr on a Sony XBR5

RGB should be set to FULL on ALL PS3's if you have deep color and NOT limited, superwhite to on.

Limited = black/color crush.
