right guys i bought a ps3 the other day and im running it through component cables to my plasma tv, as its a bit older now it doesnt support hdmi, when im playing fall of man the best resolution i can get is 1280/920/ 60hz which looks pretty good anyway, but my question is will i notice the difference by playing a blu ray dvd on the ps3 as apposed to watching a normal dvd through scart like i do at present on my normal dvd player ?

Yes. 100%.
The colours are amazing and the sound quality is at least twice as clear .

you cant watch blue-ray through a scart as far as im aware, as scart only supports upto 720 i think, where as blu ray is 1080p so not compatible unless you use an HDMI cable

He isnt watching through scart hes watching through Component.

Ryan

can component support 1080p though?

thought that can only support upto 720p though? like on the xbox?

i thought only HMDI can carry a 1080 signal? must admit i havent looked into it much but thats what i thought.

As far as im aware, component will carry 1080 interlaced, but not progressive.

Ryan

ahh ok cool

must say i had researched it that much as i hadnt needed to as i just went for the HDMI input.

Blu-Ray does look better than DVD even on normal definition.

cheers stu i will have to get one and try it out then, fingers crossed it wont be a waste of money !

The blu-ray films wont be in High definition. Component CAN transmit 1080p it just CANT transmit the HDCP copyright management. Thats were HDMI comes in, unless you connect you PS3 to a TV/LCD/Plasma using the HDMI connection your not going to get blu-ray films in 720p/1080p
