Oh, ok, sorry then![]()
Sorry, I should have added more detail in my first post in this thread.Trix already hit on it, but I just wanted to reiterate that it doesn't make a lot of sense. Since 1080p is simply a resolution, those comparisons are almost worthless unless you were playing the same two games. So many factors that have nothing to do with the actual capabilities of either system can effect display. Like the game's actual technology. I mean, you could be playing Katamari Damacy on the 360 and Uncharted on the PS3. Of course the latter is going to look better in comparison. Component/VGA/HDMI input. What resolution the games support. From my experience with the Playstation 3, there are absolutely no "display features" that make it display "better" at 1920x1080. The nitty gritty technical details of processor, memory, and all that is another matter, but that is separate from the resolution.
1080p is a resoultion of 1,920 vertical pixels by 1,080 horizontal pixels with progressive scanning.
1080i is a resoultion of 1,920 vertical pixels by 1,080 horizontal pixels with interlaced scanning.
Obviously 1080p is better than 1080i because of progressive scanning that will display every pixel of the highest-resolution HD broadcasts. Interlaced scanning only conveys the images. If you want to find out about more details, just google it.
PS3 was designed to play 1080p, whereas Xbox 360 didn't design to play 1080p, 360 actually was designed to play 1080i.
When 360 wasn't designed to play 1080p, they just added a patch when PS3 came out. The patch was to make it upscale to 1080p, that's it. Concluding that 360 will display 1080p nevertheless.
However, PS3 is kind of unsurpassed (not literally) in 1080p mode right now because there's no game that can run natively at 1080p, only 720p or less. Although, there will be PS3 games in the future that will run natively at 1080p. Concluding that those games will look better than 360 because like what I said, PS3 was designed to play only 1080p.
What's amazing is that PS3 CO4 isn't even 720p, only 660p and the game looks still awesome.
