'Normal' is pretty much always best.

BD / DVD Upscaler
Adjust settings for upscaled output when playing a BD or a DVD. Upscaling is a technique that can be used to enable video content to be converted to display in higher resolution than the original. By enabling upscaled output, video content can be played in higher resolution.

Off: Set to disable upscaled output.
Double Scale*¹: Set to upscale and display with double horizontal and vertical dimensions.
Normal: Set to upscale and display at a size that matches the screen size.
Full Screen*²: Set to upscale and display at full screen by stretching the image.
*¹ This option can only be used when the video being played is in SD resolution and the video output setting of the PS3™ system is set to 1080p or 1080i.
*² The proportions of the video content may be changed for some content.

Hints

To use this feature, a TV that is compatible with HD input and output must be connected using an HDMI or component AV cable. Also, the video output setting of the PS3™ system must be set to 1080p, 1080i, or 720p.
When playing copyright-protected DVD content such as commercially available DVD-Video, an HDMI cable is required to upscale the video content.
For Blu-ray Discs, this option can only be used when the disc is recorded in BDAV format. BDAV is a Blu-ray Disc video format. Generally, when video content is recorded on BD-R or BD-RE media using a Blu-ray Disc recorder, the content is recorded in BDAV format. You cannot use this feature on video content recorded in BDMV format. Note that most commercially available BD-ROM media now on the market are recorded in BDMV format.
If image quality is reduced or the image does not look right when upscaled, set this option to [Off].
