Hi, guys. So I've been searching all over the internet for a definitive answer to this, but no such luck. So I was hoping somebody on here could help. I have a few questions.
Firstly, to my knowledge, almost every PS3/XBOX 360 game runs at native 720p due to their hardware limitations. But I remember seeing on the back of PS3 and XBOX 360 game boxes that they can run at 720p, 1080i and 1080p. I wondered what the meant, so I looked it up. I found out it meant that those game can be upscaled to those higher resolutions. But what exactly does that mean?
Secondly, does upscaling look any better than running it at its native 720p resolution. Is it a substantial increase in game quality to upscale from 720p to 1080p.
Thirdly, I run all my PC games at 1080p. I just wanted to know if a console game upscaled to 1080p on a 1080p HDTV comes anywhere close to the quality of native 1080p on PC games via a 1920 x 1080 monitor.
Thanks for the help!
