Binxx Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Tried to look this info up but could not find it. Wanted to know if the PS3 upscales the DVD's to 1080i (The setting selected for DVD) or does it just upconverts? Secondly, is there significant difference between 1080i and 1080p for a 40" LCD display Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 no scaler yet, but sony say it will get one down the track sometime via a f/w update. still, reports are its an excellent SD DVD player as is. 1080p v 1080i - where to start on that one i say no, on the assumption the sony has a decent deinterlacer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be only applicable to the NTSC version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binxx Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 I admit, I was not exactly gob smacked by the pic on the KVHR for the SD Minority Report DVD, which prompted this question. Still awaiting the BD copy of Casino Royale Mind blowing depth, quality and clarity for the games content though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
