t3homni Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I'm going to get a PS3 sometime at the end of the year hopefully, and I was wondering whether I should get a 1080p TV for it? My old TV blew up recently, so I'll be needing a new one anyway. So how many of you PS3 owners have a 1080p TV with your PS3, or how many future PS3 owners have 1080p TVs at the moment?

Dirk Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have a 1080p tv. I mostly use my PS3 for Blu-Ray but it looks good I guess. I mean I don't really know what you want me to say. Will you see a big difference over 720p, no. So it's your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDQuiksilver Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I have a TV that displays everything other than 1080p. 1080i and 720p look beautiful over HDMI with the Playstation 3.. so you shouldn't necessarily be hard pressed to get a TV that supports 1080p, but if you can afford it then why not? Some great games should be released by the time you pick up this console.. you'll have a nice library to choose from to put that display to good use! :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fingers.t.beaver Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 On anything less than a 32" screen your not going to see the difference. The human eye can not detect the difference between 720 and 1080 on smaller screens, if your thinking above 32" its worth going for the 1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathGod Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) I have a 720p Hdtv And Im very happy with what I get from my PS3,I couldnt ask for more...So its weather if you want to play on a bigger tv,mine is a 32inch. Also I use a Hdmi Cable to which is VERY better then the dam component cables muhahaha. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers.t.beaver Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Sorry didn't mean to suggest that 720 doesn't look good on 32" or above just that you can't tell the difference on smaller screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t3homni Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yeah, thanks for the replies. ;) It's just that I've heard all the stuff about 1080p on PS3, and I thought that those types of TVs would be widely available and cheap since Sony boasts about PS3 supporting it in all, but they're REALLY expensive, and we can't really afford one. But I saw a cheap 1080i TV the other day; might go with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give Resistance a go too.. and even pop in the GTHD demo for the sake of proving a game can still look great in anything less than 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin001 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 i have a 22" HDtv and i think it looks great, i have a pretty small room so 22" was all i cud fit lol but it looks sweet and it automatically switches between 720p, 1080p etc...depending on what game it is! Well worth the ?300:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Teej Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Unless I win the lottery, I'm gonna be sticking with my 28" 480i set in my room. Of course, there might be a sudden drop in the price of 1080p TVs in which case I'll going with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3homni Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hey, should I get an LCD TV or a Plasma? I'll be using the TV for gaming occasionally, and I heard that that can screw up a Plasma... they didn't say anything to prove it, so I'm not sure. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGS4-SS Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 LCD TV. Get a Samsung, they're worth every penny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dior_addict Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Bought my hdtv a couple of years ago, so the only resolutions it supports are 1080i, 480i/p. Needless to say, I'm going to have to upgrade soon and when I do, I'd get a set that supports full 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3homni Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 LCD TV. Get a Samsung, they're worth every penny. What a coincidence. :D Yesterday I went looking for that 1080i TV, but it was more expensive than I thought and then we saw a couple of Samsungs which looked good and were at an alright price. But which one should I get, the one with or without the integrated HD tuner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
American Ninja Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 You will only notice a difference between 720/p and 1080p if the tv is above xx inches. I forgot which though lol I think it was like 46in? I could be wrong though. If iam wrong someone please correct me because I would like to know too.

If you don't have HD of atleast 1080 i don't bother getting a next gen console (IMO). Get a Wii instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most televisions anymore carry this resolution.. so it shouldn't really be too much of an issue when he snags up a LCD. Get one with HDMI also.. makes the PS3 sharp :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novaoblivion Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I am going to get a 1080p TV for my PS3 (I dont have the money just yet) mainly because I dont want to have to buy another TV for a while. Right now I Am thinking I will probably get this, it can be found cheaper elsewhere. It has a really nice response time 2.5ms :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already got a Wii. :D Still thinking whether I should go for 37" or 40+"... This TV will be for the living room where I will watch TV and play games, but I don't use the TV that often; I'm on the computer mostly during the week.

chevyordeath Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I say just go for the 1080. I am currently playing my PS3 on my 19" widescreen Samsung monitor since my TV sucks and is about to die any day now. It does look pretty damn good on my monitor though, I think it displays at 720. I just recently filed my tax return and plan on getting a 40" Samsung in a few weeks. Can't wait. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty stupid statement (IMO). I played my 360 for 7 months on an SDTV before I got a VGA cable so I could play on my monitor, but I still had as much fun as anyone with an HD set in those 7 months. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
