Hi, I'm planning to hook up a PS3 to a 1080p projector for gaming. The native aspect ratio is 16:9 (1920 x 1080). Do you know if I can change to play on widescreen ratio of 2.35:1 (1920 x 817)?

I don't think so.. at least you can't do it from your PS3, not sure about your projector. Why would you want to play games on movie aspect? You can't view everything with that ratio for sure

I thought most of the game aspect ratio are 16:9?

yeah...later got black bar..lol...

I dont quite understand what TS mean. Sorry

So the projector is in what ratio? 16:9 or 2.35:1?

Well his is 1080p projector so naturally it's 16:9 aspect ratio. But his intention is still uncleared. Can play full screen with max resolution but want to chop out some viewing area or stretching the image.. weird

That why i asked, i also didnt understand

maybe lack of space? but still not worth sacrifice the reso...

Or may be the projector screen got potong until 2.35:1 ratio?

Or the screen he use is not 16:9?

gundam beats me

erk..tiz thread also TS gone d...

Ya, I replied the very moment this thread was created and he's gone

Thanks for all the replies. Sorry, I was away for a while so didn't update.

Why I'm asking is because I'm thinking of gettting a 2.35:1 screen (so that when watching movies have less letterboxing).

So if the PS3 cannot support 2.35:1 then I think I better get the normal 16:9 screen.

Better get 16:9, it's more commonly used. Plus you get letterbox for movies yes, but you would also get yoko for gaming if using 2.35:1 screen.

Sorry, what is "yoko"?

@jchong

How much is the 1080p projector u're using? What brand?

Err.. you know letter box meaning empty top and bottom, and yoko meaning empty on left and right

yoko? i also wonder what is it...

Thanks for the explanation gundam.

Well yoko isn't really a proper term.. but I'm just used to call it yoko since that's the term found in most shoot-em-up games

letter box doesnt have so-called-short-name for it?
