Does 720p look worse on a 1080p native LCD?

Question

I just recently purchased a 1080p LCD TV and a PS3. Just now I discover that there are no PS3 games yet with a native 1080p resolution. My TV automatically scales the games to 720p when I run them.

If I had a 720p native LCD TV would the games actually look better for PS3 games, or are there no real difference even though my TV is 1080p?

Answer 1

There should be no difference.. Your TV can run UP TO 1080p which means it can do 480p 720p 1080i 1080p

Answer 2

most lcd tvs if its under 46 or so inches...unless you sit two feet away from the tv you can't tell much of a difference between 720 and 1080 anyway. It would not look any better on a native 720 tv set. Many of my charter hd channels are 720p displayed on my 1080p tv and they look fantastic.

Answer 3

there are some games that run on 1080p like nba 08. but they will only get to 1080p if u have an hdmi cable. also another trick is to go to the display settings on the ps3 menu and set it so that ur tv can only display 1080p. this should work.

good luck!
