in terms of video quality, there is not much different between those 2?

Hey guys, I got a 50'inch Sony TV, here is the spec.

However, it's not in LCD, so I am wondering whether if I am able to play PS3 in Full-HD. Or maybe worst, not HD at all? (Hope this is not true)

@casablanca2, i believe PC LCDs and TV LCDs are basically the same technology. i'm using BenQ 19" fp94vw and very happy with it.

@Xaphier, your TV supports 720p via HDMI - its good

xavier, dun worry, u are good to go, those are 3LCD projection teebee

Meh.... so it's not Full-HD after all. Oh well, can't blame it for that, it's already around 3 years old anyway. Oh by the way, 720p and 1080p/1080i has huge difference?

What is 3LCD anyway?

50 inch, if u stiitin gard 4-6 feet maybe u will notice the difference

3LCD, some sony technology

Oh I see, that is kind of a relieve Thanks for that. And, what is the current price for a 52'inch LCD TV now? (No I don't intend to buy those)

Sony 3LCD is expensive to maintain. last time I checked with Sony, each lamp cost above 2k, and it has 3 lamps attached inside tv.

52-inch lcd tv above 20k

acougan,your BenQ can reach 720p r?
acctually i'm still new with my console,so i dono how to set the display well,

^what brand/model LCD you using?

if u use HMDI-DVI cable, just set 480p and 720p in the PS3 display setting. i don't understand why you are getting 576p. 576p should be PAL signal.

Yes, true. The lamp could not even last more than 10K hours. Better opt for plasma or LCD TV.

hmm, your problem is quite unique. where did you buy your PS3? issit a PAL set from UK/Oz? i dunno why the XMB is set at 576p. for me, i kenot even select 576p.

any other forumers have any idea what's the bug in his setup?

i think maybe is the LCD,is it HDCP?? i mean the monitor can support HDCP,my dell 20 inch got that function and can support HD,think maybe ur LCD didn't support??

Bro, sorry to jump in like this, and sorry for the noob question. Would like to ask. A widescreen PC LCD monitor basically has an aspect ratio of 16:10(compared to a widescreen LCD TV which is 16:9), rite? So, does the image usually appear stretched for the LCD monitor? Is it too obvious?

I use 16:10 LCD screen here and I don't see any stretching.

U mean, it's not even vertically stretched?

used a widescreen 20 inch LCD before,no problem

Guys, thanks a lot for the info.

I made some mistake during the restore process. I choosed "Restore PS3 System" from the menu and it wiped all my user/accounts/settings.. However after the proper restoring process (from the Backup menu" all the lost/reset data was restored.. So the system really backs up user data .. I created an OtherOS partition after installing new HDD, however after restoring process, the partition seems to be lost..
