PS3 is region-free, but there's a hi-def catch

Punisher: The problem isn't resolution itself, it's the colors. PAL60 means basically NTSC with different color settings (which are shitty in NTSC). Cobretti: Most of the relatively new CRT TV:s don't support 100Hz, but most do support PAL60 (as far as i know, PAL60 should work on all widescreens). And again, problem isn't your TV, it's just that NTSC PS3 doesn't emulate PAL source to any output format it supports. Sieanr: EDTV is 480p, it has nothing to do with regions. HD standards (which ED also is) does not relate to region. Basically progressive scan from PAL source is 576 horizontal lines, but as far as i know, it's downscaled to 480. Kwaad: Yes. You got it right, NTSC PS3 doesn't work with PAL TV, but the point is that PAL games don't work with NTSC PS3 (when outputting it in HD, you should consider game to be HD game, no matter what region that game is). Well, i have to say that you got your TV really cheap. 200 EUR less than the Philips:s cheap 37" (or was it 32") Full HD model. I believe that full HD TV:s are something above 3000 EUR at the moment at cheapest (not including Philips:s chep models), or at least 2500 EUR. 20" LCD monitors (with VGA/DVI/ possibly even SCART) are usually around 300-400 EUR, and LCD TV:s that size practically doesn't exist. 480p TV:s are practically non-existent, one reason for low HD-penetration in Europe, unlike US and Japan, in which 480p is pretty common and is count in HD numbers. In Europe (or mostly EU), 720p (or 768 resolution) TV:s are HDTV:s which started to sell. So it's more propable that you can find 720p TV (which isn't count as HD ready) cheaper than 480p. And these non-HD-compatible-TV:s are around 600 EUR.
