GT5 image quality with HD Ready TV

[k80sg]

Am I losing out a lot on image quality compared to playing on a Full HD TV?

They're the same thing.

Not necessarily. A digital ready tv may not be full hd (1920x1080 res).

But he didn't say "digital ready", he said "HD ready".

Granted, he also left out a lot of information, such as "what is the native resolution of this HD-ready TV?"

Resolution is 1366 x 768. Model is Toshiba Regza 37CV500E.

basically 'HD ready' sets refer to TVs with resolution of 1024x768~1366x768, while 'Full HD' refers to native 1920x1080 capable TV sets

Resolution is only one factor - contrast ratio and proper black levels, not to mention a proper calibrated display, are all just as important. Your seating distance also determines how well you can discern detail between a 720p and 1080p display.

FYI the term 'HD ready' is used to describe a TV that displays HD resolution but does not have a built-in ATSC tuner i.e. it doesn't have anything to do with display resolution.

Thats High Def. How are you connecting your PS3 video output to your TV?

I am using a HDMI cable.

Then you should be all set. You are seeing HD, but not full HD, don't lose any sleep over it. If the image seems overly jaggy or you are seeing a lot of flicker, consider checking your ps3 output resolution:
