Blu-ray down converts to 720p discussion???

[Phane]

No... this isn't true.



Samsung HLP5063W 720p native DLP on a PS3 with HDMI. I selected 720p and 1080i from available resolutions (TV doesn't support 1080p) and pop 300 in and it runs at 1080i. If you WANT it to be downconverted to 720p from the start (like I do) you just unselect 1080i from your available resolutions in the display settings for your PS3.

I'd assume that if you were having issues, you could always deselect 720p from the available resolutions in your settings. The only downside is that some games might get rendered in 480p if you pick that option.

I think one of the above posters were thinking you were asking if it could downconvert to 720p, not if it would forcibly downconvert to 720p instead of 1080i.
