PS3 to get DVD upscaling

[JTStarkiller]

that's odd, so on the display options checklist you can't check 720p?

No I can, and it works fine for games, but if you select 720p and play a Blu-Ray disc, it's gonna down convert it to 480p. You have to select 1080i in order play it in HD.

Well 720p is pretty much 1080i so thats not a big deal really.

I've tried to see the difference in 1080i and 720p when just using the PS3 menu, and I can notice this little flicker every time I click around in 1080i. It's annoying, and I've tried to avoid 1080i if at all possible.

just have all three selected then, your blu-ray's will play at 1080i and you games will play between that and 720p

First of all, I already understand how to set everything correctly, but thanks for the help. Secondly, I don't want my games to play in 1080i, I want 720p only.

Gotcha, so you just change it every time you move between movies and games?

 

[JTStarkiller]

Yeah, sure do. It's not too annoying, since I know that an update will eventually happen, and I only have one movie on Blu-Ray at the moment --Silent Hill.
