Can PS3 run full HD?

Yes, the PlayStation 3 (PS3) supports Full HD (1080p) output via its HDMI port, capable of displaying games and movies at this resolution, though many games ran at 720p and were upscaled, with only select titles achieving native 1080p. You can usually enable 1080p in the PS3's display settings, but sometimes forcing it can lead to performance issues, as some games were designed to look better at 720p, so automatic settings or deselecting lower resolutions (like 720p) might be best for specific games.

Does PS3 support 4K?

No, the PS3 does not natively support 4K; its hardware maxes out at 1080p, so when connected to a 4K TV, the TV performs upscaling, stretching the lower-resolution image (often 720p or 1080p) to fit the screen, which can result in blurriness or pixelation, though some modern TVs upscale better than older ones. The PS3 cannot play 4K Blu-rays (UHD Blu-rays) either, only standard Blu-rays, requiring a newer console like the PS5 or a dedicated player for true 4K movie content.
