Sorry about the half-answers Blu, but the PS3 will automatically upconvert the DVD (to 1080p) so long as it is connected via HDMI - With Component cables it will only output 1080i.

I leave mine on Normal. It's really a preference on how you want to view the movie. There's no special setting other than you can put in the block settings and mosquito settings to try and smooth out the picture if it appears rough.

I leave mine on Normal as well. Seems to do a good job of upconverting in my opinion..

Actually you can turn it off so your statement is untrue, at any rate I leave mine on normal.
