720p upscaled to 1080p
- Thread starter JayNYC

If a game is 720p, then the best it will ever look is 720p.
When you have a 1080p display and you want to display 720p content, it must be upscaled. Some TV's are better at this than others.
To better understand upscaling, check out this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_scaler

Upscaled 720p or even 640p content (like HALO3) doesn't look any better.
I have a 1080P display and I'll tell you, HALO 3 at 640p without AA looks ugly, upscaled or not.

Depends on how well your display shows content that is in it's non-native resolution.
I guess some TV's also have input lag for things in their non-native res. If you have a TV with "gaming mode" this will fix a lot of that. Most PS3 games are in 720p (and don't upscale, unlike the 360's) and I've never had any issues as long as my TV is set to gaming mode.

are there any benefits if its upscaled? I play mostly halo3 and I hear its not even 720p but is there a reason to play any of the games in 1080p if there mostly 720p?
Upscaling refers to either the display or the console taking one resolution and "upping" it to fit the displays native resolution. Depending on what type of TV you have you are going to have upscaling whether you like it or not.
Depending on your TV and setup, I'd just set my Xbox @1080p and be done. Only works over HDMI (unless you have an HDTV with a VGA connector that supports 1080p), so make sure you're hooked up correctly first.
Oh, and PS. Don't let the Halo 3 haters fool you, sure it's got some nasty AA problems, meaning there isn't any, but the game still looks incredible in motion.
