PS3 RGB Full?

[BLONDIE]

Try it both ways if I were you.

On my display, the super white makes no difference at all (using DVE Bluray as a test.

The RGB either looks correct or makes everything look green (can't remember which way I have it set)

*Normally* you want RGB Limited and Superwhite on.



RGB full is primarily designed when you use the PS3 with a PC monitor which uses 0-255 RGB levels, opposed to the more standard 16-235 of a 'TV' display. You will see black crush and increased banding with the incorrect setting for your screen, as it will be remapping into the wrong RGB luminance range.



With superwhite 'on' (and RGB limited) the PS3 passes blacker-than-black pluge signals to help you calibrate the display. It does not with superwhite 'off'.

That's very useful to know. I wonder why I'm not seeing a difference with super white setting. It goes through a crystalio to reclock the 1080p 24 but I didn't think anything else was being touched.



Cool - I have something to do this weekend!

So basically its better to have superwhite on and RGB to limited?



I must check out my settings....

thanks for the info guys :bow: :thumbup:

[BLONDIE]

much improved :thumbup:

[Lorddalron]

Done it myself and results seemed to be improved as well....I think.



Watched Hell boy on Bluray and the black level seemed to be pretty decent and less artifacts as such when in one of the many dark scenes throughout the film.

How come when ever the up-scale function is set to normal it throws up a 4:3 picture and then full mode puts out a full screen display?

[CarlB]

If it's a 4:3 original image then normal is working correctly. Full mode is designed to stretch the image to fit your screen, which I don't like. I like to watch 4:3 in 4:3.



The other explanation might be that your TV is not recognising the signal to switch to 'wide' mode, and an anamorphic image is displayed incorrectly. Switch manually to wide in this case.

i played COD4 last night ands the difference following those settings is amazing and that's not through 1080p, which i have seen on a pioneer 608, and my picture looked better to my eyes :D~:-D~:grin:

Just thinking there. Although I have the upscale function set to normal but as what resolution does this upscale to?



Is there no way of manually setting it, I.e 720p and so forth or does it just go on the displays native res.?

Normal will scale to the highest resolution of your TV and maintain the aspect ratio of the disc.



Full will upscale as high as your TV supports and stretch the image to fill your TV regardless of aspect ratio.



Double (unsurprisingly) doubles the resolution of the source signal, so for example a 480p source becomes 960p. This results in small black 'windowbox' around the image if you have a 1080p set.



The ultimate target resolution is determined by your 'display settings' on the PS3, where you listed the resolutions that your TV supports.

Was half thinking that. Cheers Carl :thumbup:
