tell us how you have the ps3 connected and what your tv can produce i.e 720p,1080i,1080p
Depends on the TV/Monitor really.
I have cross colour reduction filter "on".
RGB full range "Full" (I definitely noticed a lot of difference with this on full, colours looked much more vibrant.)
Superwhite "off" (I found that it was too bright and washed out for my liking, its hooked up to a Dell 2407 though which already has eye retina damaging brightness levels, so may vary on your display.)
Best thing is to try them really.

I recommend you stick to Limited RGB unless your TV supports use of Full RGB.
Most TV's expect a signal in the 16-235 range (16 being darkest black, 235 brightest white) which is Limited RGB, all that Full RGB does is remap/stretch this range to 0-255 so it's actually no different to Limited RGB if the TV supports it (it's just mapped differently).
So if your TV is expecting a Limited RGB (16-235) signal and you tell your PS3 to send a Full RGB (0-255) signal, what will be happening is you will be losing all colours in the 0-15 and 236-255 ranges - which is why a lot people notice an increase in contrast, since there's more white and black and less of a gradient.
The most obvious sign that your TV doesn't support Full RGB will be "black crush" which is a loss of detail in darker areas, this is because any colours in the 0-15 range (which should be black and progressively lighter shades of gray) will just be cut off and hence loss of detail.

Hi,
Thanks for the repliesI have the ps3 connected to the tv via HDMI.
The telly is a LG 32LC3R, it can produce 1080i
Tv's are different but i would say 720p is better than using 1080i
this is my settings with a link hdmi cable
Video output settings: 720p
cross colour reduction filter is set to "on"
RGB full range (HDMI) : Full
YPB/CB PR/CR superwhite hdmi : Off
Shameful copy & paste from Inoshishi post
.
If your TV supports it then full rgb is the way to go, found this helpful a while back when setting up a new PS3/ TV. It has a link to a test picture to determine if you tv is full RGB compatable.

There's black crush all throughout this comparison video:

It's so blatent that I'm surprised he could use this video to argue Full RGB is better.
Take a look between 2:16-2:17 as the tower goes from full to limited, as you can see so much detail is lost when using full RGB on an unsupported TV.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread for a moment. But i just bought a PS3 and its on its way, but i have read a lot about the new upscaling of DVD's. But what setting do you guys recommend for a 1080p HDTV? There is Off/Double Scale/Normal/Full Screen i think in the upscale options, so what is the best one through HDMI?

Hi,
Thanks for all the replies
Use the test pattern in msmalls74 link to find out.
If you can't see all the blocks then this will correspond with a loss of detail in your games too.
Going by those settings I'm not sure, what you want is 1:1 pixel mapping which might be what the full screen mode is.
