PS3 on an analogue tv

Are there any settings to make the most out of it? If a movie can look so good why not games..

Uhm, what do you mean?I don't think games made for 720p resolutions will look good on an old TV, movies look better on everything because nature and physics do all the calculation and graphics in them while the PS3 itself has to do them for games. And old TVs simply lack the physical pixels to get good graphics in games I think. I wouldn't know of any settings that could improve this. A setting with a 1080p TV would.

When I download an ingame trailer it looks incredible, should be possible. As it is now a HD-tv is not an option as I got it for movies first, don't like these restless screens on modern tv's. Only B&O and Loewe make good HD-tv's and I can't afford these.

I think it's because the Ps 3 can easily scale the trailer to fit the screen but the games are often made for a certain resolution, don't ask me about the specifics, I never programmed a PS3 game, I just heard on analogue TVs you cannot really see the health bar in GTA IV for example because there aren't enough pixels for the small bar.
What do you mean by restless? I find old TVs far more restless because they flicker. I don't have a modern HDTV either, I hooked my PS3 up to my 24" computer monitor via HDMI and it works just fine, even for BluRays (they do stutter a little bit because 24p BluRay doesnt translate well to 60Hz but who had the idea to make it 24p anyway? but it's only in slow panning views usually and not very disturbing)

Jags, trembling, loud colour and poor contrast. B&O and Loewe mount a special glass-plate that cancels that but these plates cost 1000 euro just to produce them so these tv's are really really expensive, 5k minimum and a whole lot more if you are willing to spend some cash, 10k at least, which I don't have.
