Your TV will always say 1080p because that's the only resolution it can display. It is in no way an indicator of the video resolution coming from the PS3. If a game is downscaled to 480p by the PS3 the TV is going to upscale it to 1080p because your TV can't display 480p. If the PS3 is sending the TV 720p then the TV is going to upscale to 1080p. If the PS3 is sending the TV 1080i then the TV is going to deinterlace it and display 1080p. However the quality won't be as good as a true 1080p source. Upscaling to 1080p from 480i/p or 720p or 768p will never look as good as a 1080p source. I haven't kept up with what the PS3 does with video scaling for games that are made in 720p or 768p. Un4gvn is probably right.
