go to the display settings, uncheck 720p and 1080i.
remember if the game does not support 1080p it will render in 480p which = garbage.

gta and mgs benefit. at least i think so, you can tell a slight difference. and even if they dont, who cares, let it render in 1080 anyways

 

I am not sure I get this... if the GAME supports 1080p, it will use 1080p every time if you have 1080p selected (regardless of if you have 720p or 1080i selected.)

Selecting those two options will allow games that don't support 1080p to not be rendered in 480p.

Am I missing something?

i have them all selected, when i put in gta4 its 720p, when i put in mgs4 its 1080p. it depends on the game.

 

if you want to force it to render in 1080p u have to uncheck the 720p and 1080i settings. if these are unchecked, and you put in a game that supports 720p, and only 720p, ur ps3 will immediatly render it in 480p.

 

you cannot uncheck 480p, its the standard setting. by unchecking 720p you are telling the ps3 that you do not want it to render in 720p. i know its weird.

 

 

That is weird. That would mean the logic in a game, would have to consider 720p a more desirable resolution to render in then 1080p. Why would any game do this?

I can understand if you only had 720p selected, looked at the quality, and then only had 1080p selected, and compared it (on games like GTA where the native resolution is lower then 720).

What I don't get, is telling the game "Hey, I have 1080p and 720p", and a game that supports both picks 720p. In that case, the game should always pick 1080p. Are you sure it does not do this?
