its not default because some TVs dont support super white or full RGB.

Couldn't there be a "Does this look alright?" test upon starting up a new PS3?


there is, the PS3 will auto-set what it beleive is best specs/resolution. Super White is for HDMI users.


Super white is for the YCbCr color space, for watching movies in that color space. RGB full is for the RGB color space, which movies can be output in, or for PS3 games. If your TV does not support the full RGB spectrum (0-255), the blackest blacks and whitest whites will be "crushed" - meaning that black #'s 0-15 will all look the same, rather than being different (same is true for the white end of the spectrum). If your HDTV has a DVI input it might support RGB full with a HDMI->DVI cable, because PC's output in 'full' mode (you will have to use a different audio output option though). Almost all HDTV's except for more recent higher end ones do not support RGB full through HDMI.
