HDMI

[bigway 4]

So if i put my PS3 into a monitor or tv that is not FULL HD, will i get FULL HD seeing my PS3 is?

I keep seeing tvs that have smaller resolutions than full hd say that they are HD ready and have HDMI for 1080i hardware?!?

Does any of this make sense.

What i am trying to do is find a way to get the TRUE FULL experience from my PS3 with Blu-ray while not having to spend a fortune.

However if i have to i will buy a full hd tv, just need to understand this a bit better and what i need to be looking for.

Thanks.

no, you will not. Depending on the model, you may get a far worse picture than a model that correctly/accurately downscales to 720p.
If the display can't deliver a full 1920 x 1080, then it scales the image. The quality of the scaler is where the price comes in.

Very old article I wrote, predicting where we are today. Wasn't far off, even in late 2004.
Point is, if you want full 1080, you need to pony up. The monitor needs to have a full 1440 x 1080 at *minimum) to display "full HD" (which is a marketing term, but it works).
If the scaler sucks, you'll be worse off if you purchased a much cheaper 1280 x 720 display. Getting a "tweenie" monitor is one of the worst things you can do. Either go full bore and go for true 1920 x 1080p display, or cheap out and buy a 1280 x 720p display. HDMI delivers over both.
played with PS3 on a 46" Sharp Aquos that was pretty nice. Still not a Bravia II, but very nice. Contact either Darrell at New Magic.AU or David Hague at VideoCamera.au in Perth, ask their opin's, tell em' I sent you. Both are pretty independent thinkers, both are exceptionally HD savvy in Oz.
