~~Just recently got a PS3. I play on an HDTV with 720p, does smoothing smooth HD games too, and will it look better?~~

Alright, I should mention I have this triple component cable. It has a plug for an Xbox 360, Wii, and PS2/PS3. I have already calibrated my HDTV on my Xbox 360 using Windows Media Center and calibrating videos. Now that I have a PS3 and the videos/games are being displayed with a different console, should I need to re-calibrate my HDTV?

Does anyone know if the PS3 has a "Blue Filter" mode when playing DVDs? This option is available on some HDTVs (not mine though), and adds a blue filter over the screen making it easier to adjust the color and tint settings when calibrating your HDTV.

I thought it looked better, but you would have to see it for yourself.

I was hoping it was more of an Anti-Aliasing thing, it removed the jagged edges, but everything was a bit "muddy." It was more of a real-time smudge effect. I'll just keep it off, looks better when everything is clear, it's worth the slightly jagged edges.

Smoothing is for upscaling from sd format only.

Also, my HDTV is 22" but supports up to 1080p. Should I enabled everything up to 1080p, or just keep it at up to 720p?

Get an HDMI cable and enable it in 1080p. Everything should just work automatically I don't see why you think it would be any different.

~~The screen though is 22". Would it even be noticeable? I can't find the native resolution, the manual only states it supports up to 1080p.~~
