On my 1080i/720p TV, what resolution setting should I use on my PS3?

My TV has a max resolution of 1080i/720p.

If I set my PS3's resolution automatically, it selects 1080i.

Should I stick with 1080i OR should I manually set the resolution to 720p?

I think that I have heard that 720p is better than 1080i (but if this is true, then why would the default set to 1080i)?

Also, for my other TV that is 1080p, in the PS3 resolution settings, should I disable all the lower settings (i.e. uncheck the boxes for 420 and 720) so that everything displayes in 1080p?

Thanks for any info.

This is really simple, if you have to choose between 720p or 1080i then its all about what framerate is to be used. A game that runs at 30 fps won't suffer if its run in 1080i, but if its a game that runs at 60fps it would suffer in 1080i because it doesn't support above 30fps. hence you would have to go for 720p for best result.trasherhead

i hav a TV with max res of 720p/1080i and i uncheck 1080i simply coz most of the games if not all run natively in 720p... but u shud chk both settings and c wht u thnk looks better...ND_basic

Ok - thanks very much for the info.

I will try comparing 720p v. 1080i, although I doubt I will notice a difference because I just have trouble judging small differences in video qaulity.

If I don't notice a difference, I will just leave the TV on the 1080i setting since that is my TV's default when I connect the PS3.

Ok I have a quick question here myself, I have a 1080p Samsung and I currently have the display settings selected to all of them so the TV selects the best setting when I start up the game, but the problem is, even with the 1080p supported games, it never selects 1080p, it always selects the 720p. Should I leave it as be, change my display settings so it only plays the games in 1080p, or something else? Thanks
