881170 2010-04-30 03:20:00 Just occurred to me - if someone has an older-stle 26" CRT Television hooked up to a PS3 via composite cable to watch movies etc, what would the maximum resolution be?

To my thinking there would be 3 factors to consider:

- The resolution of the source video file (for arguments' sake, lets say it's 720p)
- The maximum resolution capable via composite connections
- The maximum native resolution of the TV

881171 2010-04-30 04:20:00 Probably the standard PAL resolution, 576i IIRC. Maybe 576p if you're lucky, but I don't know if you can have a progressive-scan picture over composite.

Gah, wikipedia isn't helping much, just throwing numbers at me. 525, 625, 576, 480... pick one.

881172 2010-04-30 09:12:00 It'll use, or be happy with the standard PAL resolution of 754x576, 25fps, provided it was made for NZ use and isn't some poxy american NTSC system. Paul.Cov (425)

I think the progressive scan is a function of the TV circuitry, not of the CRT itself.
