PS3 display problems

yeah, I was checking the user manual under specifications...1080i is max resolution.

Its actually a ~720p set, but will accept 1080i signal.

So you should have selected 480p,720p & 1080i

Thanks. I just put on a movie for him, and it's in 1080i. That's fine.

Why does NBA 2K only show up as 720p though? The back of the game says it can go to 1080p. Shouldn't it be 1080i on my TV then?

most PS3 games are native 720p...even if the box says it will do other resolutions.

Okay, so even though the back of the box says "1080i, 1080p", if my TV is set at 1080i, the game really is only capable of 720p?

So I'm good?

thanks

The reason they have 1080i and 1080p support on the back of PS3 games is that many of them are for people owning older HDTVs (Some Rear projection CRTs and early model digital displays) that had no support for resolutions such as 720p. The nice thing about this is that people that want HD can still use their older HDTVs with HD video, 720p only games are not scaled and are downconverted to 480p, which is a disadvantage to those owning those displays.

there are some games 1080p native...but the vast majority are 720p.

So if the game plays at 720p, I would not worry about it.
