We have a 720HD TV (an LG, not sure about this i or p business) and while BBCHD looks nice enough from our V+ Box, I'm a little underwhelmed by the quality of the BluRay discs we've tried watching.

I read elsewhere the PS3 does not output Bluray at 720, instead downgrading it to standard resolutions.

Is this true?

Actually your LG (LCD?) TV more likely has a resolution of 1366 x 768p, slightly higher than 720p. This is important because if you set the PS3 to output 720p then unnecessary scaling will be happening in the TV. 1080i will probably give you better results.

The downscaling issue on the PS3 is specific to certain games, and only affects people whose TVs aren't 1080i compatible. ALL HD Ready TVs are 1080i compatible.

So, I should set me PS3 to 1080? When I try doing that with the V+ box it all goes pear-shaped.
