7 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 I try to set PS3 output display to 720p for blu-ray "the departed "movie as my projector has 720p native resolution. But the display downcsale to 525p and PQ is like dvd quality only. If I set its output display to 1080i, my 720p projector projects a not so sharp image. Could someone tell me what's wrong? Should I have to save up big for a 1080p display? Many thanks in advance.

Setting the output to 1080i and letting your projector do the scaling is the only real solution (other than purchasing an external scaler). Feel free to contact Sony and express your disappointment that they decided not to include a hardware scaler ... Andrew.
betty boop Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 if any consolation your not alone with this grief http://www.dtvforum.info/index.php?showtopic=48109 silly really that they havent fixed this. 720p is pretty common native res of so many pjs and displays out htere.
Hydrology Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 As the movies are on BR at native 1080p, setting the output on its maximum resolution output makes sense. Its the same with the Toshiba HD-DVD players, 1080 set as output should look best.
AndrewW Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 If I set its output display to 1080i, my 720p projector projects a not so sharp image. What projector are you using ? On my AE900, 1080i looks better than 720p from both the 360 and my HD-A1, so obviously the scaler in the AE900 is pretty good. Andrew.

Andrew. Benq pe7700. I have got a mediagate mg-350hd. If I use 1080i output, it looks not sharp. Whereas using 720p output to Benq, it looks good. Thanks for your advice btw. Simon

Simon No problem, we are here to help I have no experience with the Benq projector's, perhaps someone with more knowledge can shed some light on the quality of the scaler for 1080i->720p conversion.

Andrew. Ive owned a 7700 in the past, and am familiar with the Mediagate, and Im surprised its not sharp enough at 1080i output. Having said all that, the PS3 is still best set to output BR at 1080.
