Reports of incompatibility, in flaunting high-definition visuals on HDTV sets lacking 720p, of Sony’s new PlayStation 3 have been quite prominent in the recent past. Diminishing all the gossip, the Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) spokesperson substantiated the problem to GameDaily BIZ and asserted,
A small number of older High Definition television sets found in the United States only have 1080i inputs for HD signals. Those televisions will currently only play some PS3 titles at 480p resolution. PS3 games render images at either 720p or 1080p for High Definition, and you need 720p input on the TV to play select games that do not support 1080p. This is an issue on the side of the individual television sets, which do not accept 720p input, so when a game outputs an HD signal only at 720p, these select TVs have to display the game at 480p instead.
Sony is working on a solution, which will be a simple firmware download when prepared, declared the SCEA spokesperson.
