Ps3 down converts blue rays to 480p on a 720p tv?!?

I read this following articles, plus other just like it. "Having just read through a really rather good interview over at Ars Technica I was astounded by following statement made by Ben Kuchera:

There is no real difference in quality based on what I’ve seen between HD DVD (Xbox 360) and Blu-ray (PS3). Keep in mind that unless your display can handle a 1080p or 1080i resolution the PS3 will downgrade the image into 480p."

So, how do i watch blue rays in 720p, Because i have a 27 inch HD TV and i want to watch blue rays without it playing it down converting to 480p. Help please. My TV is a LCD HDTV

    If your TV does 720p chances are it will also do 1080i.

    You will need to make sure you are hooked up via HDMI cable then go into your PS3s "Display Settings" and from there you will be able to adjust the Video Output by checking of all the resolutions your TV has.

    I have a 1080p Bravia XBR in my living room hooked up to my PS3 and the PS3 will output in whatever resolution I tell it to. I also have a smaller 32" Bravia in my bedroom that does 720p/1080i hooked up to a standard Sony Blu Ray player and it will output in 720p and 1080i as long as I adjust the settings; you should be able to do the same thing.

    Also, check the back of the Blu Ray movies box, some of them will actually have alternative resolutions. Buying Blu Rays that also contain 1080i will help your cause.

    As for the article, its probably dated and written by someone who supported HD=DVD (which failed) and was biased. Blu Ray was and is the superior media.

    Just tinker around with the settings in the PS3 and Tv and get a HDMI cable.

    E-Mail me if you need more info. Later.
