Right since I bought my PlayStation3 ive been running it via HDMI on my 42" PH9 Panasonic Plasma Display.
The picture is truely wonderful but due to the limitations of the HDMI module, it only runs at downscaled 1080i mode.
From what I read on various forums and how HDMI is mainly to stop copyright issues etc, outputting 1080p via anything other than a protected method on the PS3 was not possible.
i.e. will only play Blu-ray movies via protected methods like DVI and HDMI cables etc.
Well I was suprised that after buying a official PlayStation Component cable today for £17.99 that the PS3 does NOT downscale to 576i etc and plays in full 1080p.
Im now running my PlayStation3 via Component @ 1080p (downscaled) and its alot smoother...... Blu-ray movies run on this mode also.
So what was all the talk about downscaling Blu-ray movies if you didnt use DVI or HDMI as im very curious.
Cheers
