I'm in a very reminiscent mood nowadays and I want to bring some life back to my good old PlayStation 3. As some of you may know, the majority of games run at 1280×720. Some lower, some higher, but it's usually 720p.
My current monitor is a Samsung CF591. It's a 1080p 27" monitor, whose size is already exaggerated enough for 1080p, let alone for 720p. AFAIK, 720p is not a half-resolution of 1080p, so if scaling artifacts weren't bad enough the image will be even more ass.
The first solution I thought of was buying a cheap native 720p monitor, as it can display 720p without additional scaling and it would be okay. Thing is, I can't find one. I literally couldn't find a single native 1280×720 display, with all of them being either 1360×768 or 1366×768. And I've tried, but 720p still looks like ass on a native 768p display (tried an old LG W1942 IIRC).
Then I tried my old Sony FW-900 16:9 CRT. Being a CRT, there's no scaling artifacts and I finally could see "native 720p" and boy, it is beautiful. But 720p at 60Hz on a CRT is pretty much unbearable for me. So much flickering it makes me want to play at my 1080p monitor with scaling artifacts.
I don't know what to do anymore at this point. Any suggestions? Unfortunately unlike the Xbox 360 the PS3 doesn't seen to have a hardware scaler and I can't force the output to 1080p. It's either 720p or 480p. 1080i works but only sometimes.
Any help or insights will be appreciated, and I'm sorry if this is not the adequate subreddit for such a question.
