Can I play ps3 on a small TV?

Im looking to by a ps3 this weekend but the TV in my room is really small. Its around a foot in length and width. The wii works perfectly on it, will a ps3 work too?

I hope it has either an HDMI port or component inputs so you're not stuck playing in SD. jshaas

I don't see why not. I hope it has either an HDMI port or component inputs so you're not stuck playing in SD. jshaas

You can play fine, just don't expect to be able to read any text, especially in RPG's or MGS4.

[QUOTE="martinX3X"]no it basically has 2 imputs. thats it. jshaas

It's going to be difficult because of the screen size more than because of SD.

[QUOTE="jshaas"] Well, it's not going to look that great then. Reading on-screen text is sometimes very difficult in SD..martinX3X

The text reading is a big problem on SD televisions, I have a big 60 inch SD TV and I still have trouble reading anything in MGS4 or Modnation Racers (or any little text), it was easier to read on a 20 inch HD tv than on my 60 inch SDTV...

You can, but some minimaps are almost impossible to read. At least, that was my experience with it.

My old SD tv made things very difficult..

I think you need the eye test.

He said it's a problem on *SD* televisions. If you are on a 1080P then you aren't playing in SD resolution. The text in some games is almost unreadable when the PS3 displays at 480i.

I tried using the ps3 on a standard definition (boob tube) 27" television and it was literally impossible to read any text. It does look great on my 46" samsung lcd though. Huge difference.

I would hold off on that ps3 and try to get an hdtv lol, i'm serious. I put my ps3 on a 60 inch sdtv, and played FIFA worldcup. The graphics were ugly,however SOME games barely show a huge difference, such as Resistance 1 & 2, Smackdown Vs Raw 08,09,10,cuz they're naturally ugly. But uncharted 1&2 looks great on sd.

Yeah you can, I should know because I play on a small, none HD screen. And although it would be nice to have an HD T.V im still glad i can just play the PS3
