The character looks great, but the background is blurred so much, it looks more like hills than a temple. Looks like HDR was added on top of smoothing as well, going by the light-flare.
Ya, I think the camera flash just washed out the whole pic. People need to buy tripods and use DSLRs to get good pics.
DLNA functionality works great -- it picked up my WMP11 shares immediately. I'll try out Nero over the weekend. Using remote play, I was streaming music from my PC to the PS3 to the PSP -- pretty cool.
The PS2 smoothing option looks like crap. It's blurry as hell and it disables both progressive scan and widescreen. God of War II looks way better in WS progressive scan than it does with that blur filter. I could see using it for older 480i games, but definitely not at the cost of widescreen support.
The RGB full range BTB/WTW option looks great. It's much improved over limited. However, I can't get the setting to stick. Once I watch a movie, it returns to normal and I have to disable and then re-enable the option to get it to work again. So for the time being, it's only useful for media stored on the hard disk and games.
It would be nice if the 24hz BD playback option could be forced. I have it set to automatic, and the PS3 does not seem to detect that my display supports 24hz.
All in all, though, it's a fantastic update with just a few rough edges that I'm sure can be easily worked out.

Down side of the Smoothing. Really I think it doesnt look THAT blurred when you're far from the screen...just looks that way up close.
ANyway, that was with Smoothing as well.
I'm guessing mpeg2 transport streams work just fine; if not, they will over time. Not sure about h.264 TSs though. Haven't been able to get any of my videos working with Twonky really, since most/all are xvid/avi, h264/mkv, and h264/mp4 probably under a profile either not properly being served or unsupported by the ps3.
Hi. After his test, and changing your brightness to see if you can see the black boxes...do you return the brightness settings to default, or keep them at the changed settings you made to see the boxes?
Thanks
Definitely ! My PSP has been busy since 1.8 was released. Found some surprising collection from my younger days too (Ahem !). Can't wait when PS3 can play slide show and music at the same time.
Here're more ideas for Sony (You'll have to prioritize
):* If the multi-tasking/threading OS needs more development time, make PS3 auto-start RemotePlay as screen saver (Like F@H !). That way I don't have to worry about putting PS3 into the right mode before leaving the house.
* Allow users to copy unrecognized files (e.g., MS Word, PowerPoint, PDF, .cpp, etc) remotely via DLNA. Today "copy" is only available for recognized file types.
Then PS3 just became my official home gateway.
Still have not tried these.
I set my HD monitor to Full Range. It makes everything looks more striking/intense. I really like the new look.
I was being facetious, and naughty about by not including a smilie

Pardon my blow-by-blow 1.8 exploration. Another mistake here.
The DLNA media files play like standard ones. So just like XMB media playback, I can indeed press the "Home" button on PSP and multitask any music playing with slide show on RemotePlay.

That looks good. You should be able to make it support any kind of file you like. (Of course, the PS3 probably still won't show it if it doesn't support it)
I have avi streaming working now with Nero. The main trick was my router. I replace a Zonet with a Dlink DIR-655 802.11n + Gigabit. I'm wireless and streaming avis as mpg-1s to my PS3 no problem...of course the quality isn't so hot. This is the transcoding that Nero picks on Auto.
I'm trying to avoid running CAT5e all the way to the PS3, but I think I'm going to have to in order to stream high-quality stuff...either that or Sony updates to 802.11n

Yeah but in places where you need as much dynamic range as possible, such as inside cathedrals, you're not allowed to use tripods, if you're even allowed to take pics.
Sounds like an interesting update. Just got a one-drive NAS last week which has DLNA. Still working on hosting iTunes and iPhoto libraries on it however.
Does PS3 support AAC (but not Freeplay DRM)? Or will it stream and scale pics up to 1080p?
Yes.
Images and videos will be converted to 480x272.
Blu-ray movies and games (without explicit PSP support) cannot be played over RemotePlay.
He's talking about living rooms, of course.
Just buy an IS/VR lens or a decent prime. That will handle indoor shots fine without the need for a tripod. Also shoot in burst mode so you take more photos and can pick the sharpest one later.
