TV upscaling exacerbating lag?

I haven't tried this yet, and perhaps I need to ask in a dedicated AV forum, but has anyone played with their PS3 output settings/TV settings in an attempt to stop the input lag?

I'm not sure actually that my TV IS up-scaling the game, but I figure I will bring this up here as well as an AV forum. I'm presently using a Samsung C8000 LED-LCD tv, with game mode turned on. I don't seem to get any input lag with other games including killzone 3 or crysis2 (on xbox), and of course GT5.

The TV is a native 1080p set, and my PS3 is set to output in 1080p and 720p (both boxes are checked in display settings). When I turn on my tv and ps3 a little box shows up in the top left corner showing the resolution being displayed. When in the dashboard or whatever the displayed resolution is 1080p, once I put GT5 in and start, the screen flicks a second and shows 1080p still. When I put any other games in that are only 720p (KZ3, Shift 2, Uncharted, etc) the screen flicks a second and then displays 720p. I ASSUME this means that there is no up-scaling occurring? Is the PS3 doing some kind of down-scaling from 1080p to 720p and causing excess processing which may contribute to lag? As you can tell I'm somewhat unfamiliar with up-scaling processes considering the settings of the system, and the resolution of the tv, and the resolutions supported in game...

Yes, that is correct but its not down scaling, the ps3 will select the game's native resolution ie 1080p for gt5, 720p for games like shift2 and the tv will switch automatically.
