to view images/games/videos and other media in full 1080p HD quality... you need an HD tv with the PS3 plugged in with an HDMI cable...

The number 1080 represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1080 horizontal scan lines)

The letter "p" stands for "progressive"

The letter "i" stands for "interlaced"

Overall, "p" is better than "i".

Someone correct me if i'm wrong on this, but I believe "p" means that all the pixels on the screen change simuletaneously/all at once, while "i" changes the pixels from top to bottom or left to right vice-versa, but it happens so fast its really not that noticable to the naked eye.

i believe thats why "p" is better.

If you're going for a hi-def tv, I'd recommend an LCD hdtv.

Lcd's are better that plasma's because if you leave a still image on a plasma for a long time (2-3) hours, you get temporary burn-in.

Burn-in just means that a ghost image of whatever you had on the tv is shown, but dissapears after a while.

I know this because I have my ps3 w/hdmi hooked up to an 42" 1080p lcd hdtv, and my 360/hdmi is hooked up to a 42" 720p plasma hdtv. When im playing a dvd or game and leave it @ the main menu annd fall asleep, the ghost image stays for a while (plasma, it NEVER happened to my lcd)

1080p+hdmi= ultimate HD
