..............Guy, are you serious? Why wouldn't you try it on 1080i if you had 1080i?

play 720p ... on a tv that size it would look nicer for sure. someimtes its better to sacrifice a high resolution for progressive scan.

I think it's all personal preference. I prefer 720p over 1080i because my HDTV seems to have "ghosting" and doesn't look great with fast paced-type games when in 1080i. Although sometimes I have my PS3 set to 1080i for upscaling DVD movies and I'll forget to change it back to 720p, then play a game, and I won't really notice much difference.

Wow!! people amaze me. I am assuming Uncharted only "supports" 720. just because your Tv can display a higher resolution, doesn't mean the game plays at that. If uncharted doesn't support 1080 then it "wil not" play in 1080 no matter what your TV says.

Because LCD screens dont handle interlaced (i) as well as CRT TVs. So you actually get flicker and sometimes you can see lines where the video is interlaced durring fast screen movement. LCDs were meant to be Progessive scan. Besides, at 26" 720 and 1080 isnt going to make much difference. If you had a 52" TV it would, but not on something you are using. Trust me, dont use interlaced on an LCD, its not the optimal video signal.

720p for both. This is assuming your tv has a native res. of 1366 x 768.

even though your tv says it will do 1080i it doesnt. It just converts it to your native resolution. Plus afew artifacts from being stretched and resized again. In short keep your tv set to its native resolution for the best picture game or movie.

Depends on if there is too much action though right? If so, then 720p all the way.

If you get a 1080i cable, is it also able to do 720p?

play in 720 because there is a lot of action and movement of the camera in uncharted and it will get pretty blurry running in 1080i. the refresh rate is better on 720p

What about when your tv does full 1080p HD.... bluray will play in full 1080p... but game like Uncharted will automatically play in 1080i... should i set it up manually to 720p when the game support that resolution?
