What Lotus is saying is, no point downloading 1080p blueray rip movie online to watch on a tv screen 40'' or smaller as it will be the same quality as a 720p .....

If your using above 40'' ( i am using 42'' native 1080p resolution ), then 1080p sources would make some difference in picture quality.

I watched in the shop a 1080p movie play on a 52'' Sony Bravia LCD HDTV. I was very impressed

Added on June 13, 2008, 12:52 pmHow do i know whether my PS3 is outputting True HD ?

my setup is configured as the following
PS3 to Yamaha RX-V663 AV Receiver via HDMI.

Av Receiver connected to HDTV via HDMI.
On the receiver it says PCM. Does that mean the true HD sound is working or isn't it ? Any ideas ?

Jonc does that mean i get the full benefit of true hd and nothing to worry about ?

My receiver also supports decoding of true hd if needed.

moogle, i think u need to set ur PS3 audio system... select Dolby 5.1 and DTS mode enable. Then i think u can hear the difference.

btw, I have a 46" Full HD LCD TV.... im damn impressed with the video output while watching AVI movie file downloaded from torrent and streaming from my PC wirelessly to PS3. It is like watching a DVD 9 movie. It truely enhance the picture quality.
