1080p and 60fps games?

But when we talk in the context of "HD", we are always referring to 1920x1080p = THE standard for "High Defenition".

720p High Definition TVs are HDTVs as well, just not "FullHD 1080p" TVs. That 1440 x 1080 camera is a high definition camera.

Blu-Ray movies are FullHD 1080p.

When smeone wants to know if a game is "1080p" they mean is the signal output to the display device at 1920x1080.

The output is 1080p FullHD due to PS3 scaling.

There are also other considerations and that's the quality of the used in-game assets, for games rendering in high resolution with low polygon counts and low resolution textures and such a higher resolution rendering will likely be far less beneficial. Luckily all PS3s have a hard drive and Blu-Ray disc to stream lots of very high quality assets (audio and graphics) pretty well potentially.

 

 The signal may be 1080p but the rendered image by the PS3 is NOT 1080p.

Otherwise we could say that DVD image quality = Blu-Ray image quality.

A scaler just changes the signal and smoothes out edges a little depending on how good it is. Expensive external scalers can change frame rate perform other manipulations to the signal.

But again, that is NOT what we are talking about, we are talking about NATIVE rendering of games, and how many there are available.

If you haven't got anything worth posting then please don't just confuse everyone!
