Should I force 1080p on the PS3?

[ManBearPig]

I never really thought about it, don't know the specifics of it besides disabling 720p, or if there are downsides...any advice?

Thanks!

I presume you have a 1080p display. Most games render in 720p anyway, and in that case, whether you should force 1080p on the PS3 depends on whether the PS3 or the display will do a better and/or less laggy scaling. I would generally bet on the PS3 doing a better job at it than the display.

If the game doesn't support 1080P you get 480P.
If the game has a for 1080i CRTs only 1080P mode you get a small increase in res (1280x720 to 960x1080).
The games that do oddball res to 720P/1080P software scaling you avoid double scaling.
North worth it IMO.
