PS3 and HDTV\'s.............
« on: April 17, 2008, 02:10:18 PM »
How many have a ps3 hooked up to a 720p tv? How many have one connected to a 1080p?

Of those, how many have seen a ps3 on both? Ive heard there isn\'t much difference between the two except when watching a blu-ray movie.

Can anyone school me on this? I can be content with 720p, especially at the price I can get a nice 42" for.  Im trying to justify spending several hundred dollars more for a 1080p version.

ya..you have been ohhhhhhhhh soooooo helpful. If it were that easy, I would not post asking these questions.

I\'ve got many  things I wanna spend money on, so its rather important to try and prioritize. :)

The 1080p is the easy answer as that is what I was lookin at to begin with. I start to see great prices in the 720p range, I start to question if I would really notice unless watching a blu-ray flick. (which btw, is at the bottom of the list)

how big of a tv are u planning to get? i thought I heard if it was any smaller than 50", you dont see a difference in 1080p or 1080i (most of the cheaper tv\'s that ur probably seeing are 1080i..maybe not though)

i\'ve personally never seen bluray on my 1080i, and i\'ve seen 1080p at best buy and it looked good, but i had nothing to compare it to. but if theres any way to get to best buy and see if they have a 1080i set up (theyll definitly have 1080p) and see for yourself.

save some hundred bucks and get the 720p for the 42" that you are planning on getting.

Unless you are sitting like 5 feet or closer to the tv, you won\'t notice any difference compare to 1080p.

If the screen is 50" or bigger, then you might notice it.  Depending on how far away you sit from the screen.

I sit at about 7-8 foot from my 46\'\' TV. There is a big difference when between a 720p feed and a 1080p feed.

do not listen to the "omg, you have to sit 4 inches away to see a difference!!11" nonsense.  you will have to decide for yourself if you see a difference, not some chart on the internet.

this is an easy debate.
get the 1080P or you will likely regret it down the road.
what\'s a few more hundred dollars when you\'re already splurging.
most retailers have 12+ months interest free anyways.

for gaming, 1080P is definitely a noticeable improvement over 720P.
as any PC gamer will tell you, higher resolutions assist in hiding jaggies.

Most certainly.
Do not listen to actual facts about distance and relation to the viewing. It\'d be silly to listen to facts.

As with that said.
Just get the 1080p - that\'s what I have.

you\'re right, his eyes and mental judgment will follow a chart that was made by some other dude with a different set of eyes and mental judgment.

are you one of the commonfolk that cannot see the difference between 60hz and 85hz on a monitor?  perhaps there\'s a chart for this.

I ve seen and played some games on a large 1080p screen and the difference was awesome compared to the 720p displays. The 720p displays were smaller in size but I was standing just some a few centimeters away from them in stores.

If the source resolution is the same as the tv\'s native resolution.  That\'s the optimal picture quality you can get.

Upscaling won\'t look as perfect as native resolution.  But if in the future he watches a lot of 1080p sources like from blu ray movies, and some video games in 1080p, then 1080p display should make his sources look it best.
