PS3 games 1080p/i Question On the PS3 menu screen, my TV says that it is displaying 1080. It dosent say if its I or P. Once I actually start a video game, that is supposed to be 1080, I hit the display button on the remote and it shows 720. Shouldn't it be diplaying as 1080 as well? Once i turn off the game and go back to the menu screen, i am back to 1080. Whats wrong with this picture? I have a 60" rear projection HDTV, connected with an HDMI cable.

To the best of my knowledge the highest resolution is 1440x1080p which when played back is reported as 1920x1080p. It's not true 1080p but it's better than 720p and honestly it looks pretty damn good, with decent lighting of course.

Does anyone know how to switch from 1080p to 720 my box doesnt allow oit for some reason... This thing needs a manual.

This display will not do 1080p. You can watch 1080p movies, iyour video player will scale them but it is a 720p display. Movies, and games, still look great.

It has 720p native resolution but does show in 1080 as well and has a wonderful picture. However, it is not a true 1080p which is why it only says 720p in the model description. Hope this helps.

768p is technically its native resolution. A TV will always display images in its native resolution. It takes whatever signal it gets and translates it into its native resolution then displays it. It's ability to receive and translate the different resolutions depends on the make / model and its age. Most newer TVs that aren't necessarily 1080p typically support the 1080p input.

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

WAOOO zachary, i think you are wrong. i got mine and for my surprise it is 1080p. i have a hd dvd player and it is capable of handling the 1080p. My xbox 360 display the image at 1080i, and my HD signal too.So i dont understand why you said that this TV is not 1080p?IT IS...

From what I have read about my 1080p flatscreen. The picture is automatically upconverted to 1080p

Under compare item it states it's a 720 but then below it states it is a 1080p.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

This TV is not 1080p. It is 720p/1080i. It can handle 1080p but I think it is still showing in 720p mode.

I have last years model (605) and wondered the same thing. if you're looking for your TrueHD to light up on your receiver - it wont. Your PS3 won't send TrueHD via bitstream (to be converted by your receiver), so you won't see the light. The PS3 offers only internal decoding of this and DTS-HD, which means you'll need to send an already decoded signal (via PCM, NOT bitstream) to your receiver and run your receiver on "Direct" to play it. You'll get TrueHD sound/signal, but your receiver won't ever light up "TrueHD". You can run the "display" setting on your PS3 though which will show your outputing the TrueHD signal to your receiver. The light won't "light" up though. Info on this can be found on the net, or in your PS3 manual. Hope it helps.

The picture quailty will be the same unless a cable in between the tv to reciever or reciever to ps3 is bad..other wise it doesnt alter the video just passes it threw. The audio on the ps3 should be set to LPCM and not Bitstream. Blu-rays have TrueHD and DTS-HD-MA audio which the 720 cant decode. But the ps3 can, and send it to the reciever threw LPCM over HDMI. LPCM the player(ps3) does all the decodeing, Bitstream the reciever does the decodeing. Hope that helps

It definitely is some sort of bug in the TV's processing of the 3d signal. Especially if it is randomly not displaying the correct 3d. I would try what everyone said below. Make sure your firmware is the latest on the tv and ps3. If it still gives you issues then you have to make the call. I would say if it bugs you, send it back. If not it is probably just a convenience issue as long as it works when you restart 3D. I would probably not return it due to the hassle and time. But, really up to you.

Ed, to answer your second question (didn't see it the first time) the automatic Cinema Smooth feature is curious...the "Auto" selection is greyed out on my PN50B560, however, I can choose "Off" or "Cinema Smooth." When in Cinema Smooth mode, it appears to actually be in Auto mode...if I turn off 24fps on my PS3, it displays 60fps just fine, and when I turn on 24fps, it also displays just fine...I think they should just fix the menu and change "Cinema Smooth" to "Auto," and only have two menu options...obviously in addition to fixing the increased black level issue...

I'm not much of a gamer, but I have used this console to play with my PS3. I have nothing negative to say about this projector. Just so you know, it will not display in 1080p, the best resolution you will get is 720p. It supports 1080p but the screen will scale the image to 720p. Still pretty good definition IMO.Hope it helps.
