Hi,

Just wondering does the PS3 upscale ordinary dvd's played on it through a HDMI cable to a 1080p lcd? If so, do you have to carry out any special configurations through the settings?

Cheers.

A firmware upgrade affords the opportunity for the PS3 to upscale regular DVDs. It doesn't matter if you connect the PS3 to the TV with an HDMI cable or not, but it does help. And no, you do not need any special configurations.

Thanks Mr Pink

Just bought the machine at the weekend and updated software to 1.93 so this should have the firmware.

Cheers

Using Hi Def is always best with hdmi,and Yes you have to change a setting in your BD/DVD settings,but thats easy

I agree, it seems to look more crisp and just all around better High Definition when you use HDMI opposed to Component cables.
