A question about the ps3

hey all
I was just wondering if there is a certain requirement that your t.v must have to play the ps3?
I know that HD is recommended to get the full experience but I only have that downstairs in my living room. It's not a MUST to have a HD t.v is it?
thanks for your help

Same here Ricky, got no complaints with mine at all. Had it as an insurance replacement TV cos my old Sammy 27" bit the dust out of the blue

I'm still messing with the settings to get the best out of it.

How is yours set up m8ty? I've got my PS3 and TV running through a HDMI cable and it's running at 1080i but I'm still adjusting it here and there.

Please tell , please, please, please

mine is also running at the same thing, according to my ps3. to get the best out of it the best thing u could do is reduce the brightness, colour, sharpness and contrast to about 45-60. anywhere between that is about perfect. the best game to test it on is motorstorm. i did and now it looks pretty mint. i also tested it on casino royale and rocky balboa - OMFG!!!

ur tv won't last long with the contrast that high. ur screen will burn away quicker than u can say....erm....burn away lol.

My contrast for gaming is on 90 for Component (Wii and 360) and HDMI (PS3) and 75 for VGA (my PC).

Looks best on those settings.
