My friend just recently got one for his PS3 and the huge step-up in graphics was very apparent.I was thinking of also getting one for my PS3 but I have an SD TV(my friend has an HD TV).Would the quality amp up at all for my SD TV or would it do nothing?Would it make the subtitles in my games any bigger because I'm sick of how small the subtitles are(the biggest offender being Assassin's Creed II).Seriously,I can barely see them and it's especially bad when they're speaking Italian because I can't understand what they're saying.
HDMI cable question
You going to have to buy a 1080p display if you want to use a hdmi cable. Then again it will work on a 1080p monitor at least.
Of course it would work with a 720p display, however I refuse to acknowledge that as being good enough.
Maybe his SDTV does have some sort of HDMI input. Maybe. I dunno. Probably not.
Nah. Could just only have component input so that will be the most you can do.
Ultimately, the best solution is to get an HDTV, if you can afford the expense. They have come done quite a bit in price so you can pick up a decent sized set (mine is a 32 inch) for under $500.
The higher the resolution, the smaller the text will be. Component isn't going to fix that, only make it slightly more clearer or improve the colors you get from composite.
Gotcha,everyone thanks for your assistance.Also,thank you for not making fun of me for not knowing anything about this kind of subject(unlike those users on gametrailers)
" SDTVs cannot use HDMI cables. "This, you can't plug them in because theres no port on the TV for it.
" @HitmanAgent47: There are... what, two, maybe three games that output in 1080p? Especially if buying a TV smaller than 42", there's no point in splurging on 1080p. 720p works just fine. Exception being if you plan on hooking a computer up to your HDTV; while it'll look beautiful/clear with 1080p, 720p will leave it looking muddled and blurry. "Agreed. I used to have a 37" TV that could do 1080p and when I switched back and forth between 720p and 1080p, I could only tell the difference when I was very close to the TV (less than 2 feet) and even the difference wasn't drastic.
Now, with my 46" TV, the difference is much more noticeable, even though games almost never run at even 720p. The difference in upscaling is still noticeable.
Whatever, that's bad advice and the op will regret it. How come no one will realise you can select only 1080p for the ps3? You get a better image. How good do you think 720p looks? I have a sony 50" 720p set, it looks like shit, it's not even recommended for anything but the trash.
Also if you played pc games? does anyone play at 720p? No it would be way too low and unheard of for pc gaming, so why do you recommend such a meager display at such a big size when alot of games can handle output to 1080p even if it's not native?

Your TV doesn't have an input for HDMI, which is only on HDTVs. You most likely have RF output, RCA white, yellow, and red jacks, and if you're lucky S-video. S-Video would bump things up a smidgen, but the only way you're going to experience images as good as your friend is if you buy an HDTV, and a componenet cable or HDMI.
