PS3 DVD Upconverting quality - Blu-ray Forum

it was a component, but like I said it was just my opinion, unless my eyes lie to me that is what I think, I was switching back and fourth on the sources to see and it was noticable. But according to ricky tee I'm an idiot for having an opinion.

Well . . . if you were using component, then you weren't watching an upconverted signal. The 360 only upconverts over VGA & HDMI, the max is 480p over component due to copyright. I think you may want to do the test again, since you were comparing a 480p signal to whatever setting your PS3 is at. Also, the Xbox 360's DVD player doesn't exactly get rave reviews. But . . . I guess it's possible that, to you, an SD DVD on a crappy DVD player looks better than an upconverted DVD on a good upconverting DVD player, but that seems incredibly odd to me. If your PS3 is hooked up via HDMI, are both the HDMI and component inputs calibrated separately?

yeah, you sound like you know what you talkin' about but I have no idea why it looks sharper and when I look at the information box it says 1080i, but i will check again I just remember the ps3 lookin' way softer, if I take pics will you tell me if there is a difference?

It'd be interesting to see. You should do a blind test, post two pics of the same screenshot on both the PS3 and the 360, don't label them, and see who picks what. That'd be sure to spark a good argume . . . er, discussion
