Best display settings for PS3 - Saxperience

DarylVTR · 13th April 2008, 13:01

Does anyone know the best settings to use for 1080P HDMI connection on the PS3? there are quite a few options, turning them on and off i have no idea what they do.

IS it beneficial to fine tune or just leave as it is?

22" Samsung HDTV

I mean the smoothing setting and all that rubbish what does it actually do?

i think the games actually look better on 720 and some games dont even support 1080. The reason is on 720 i feel the games is less hazey and 'spotty' if you get me.

i prefer the 720i option aswell

how come? i dont think 720p looks much different, maybe not as sharp as 1080p

Could try www.avforums.com search for your tele, and they give you the best settings.

As you haven't mentioned your TV, I assume you are refering to the settings within the PS3 itself?

There's not really that much you can alter... Are you using an amp for your sound output? How are you sending the audio to the amp? If it's NOT via HDMI, you need to set you PS3 audio output settings to BITRATE and NOT LINEAR PCM. It very complicated why, but with LINEAR PCM, you will not be able to get surround sound.

For visual settings, make sure RGB Full Range is set to LIMITED, and NOT FULL. Again, another long story... Simply, if you set it to FULL, you will suffer from an issue known as "Black Crush." I would also turn SuperWhite and Colour Filter OFF too.

Any other questions, just let me know.
