here is a bit more detail

game = COD4

PS3 setting:
HDMI output to 72" Toshiba DLP LCD 720p/1080i
(I don't know what's the actual output of the game is on PS3, i just pop it in and play. But since the TV is limited to 720p, i assume it plays at 720p)
My eyes is about 8ft from the TV

PC setting:
VGA output to a Dell 19" LCD monitor
Resolution set at 1024x768 in game, high texture/detail setting
My eyes is about 1.5ft from the monitor

and okay..i over exaggerated...it doesn't look like crap on PC. It still look nice, just not as nice as it seems on the PS3 + TV.

When I set the resolution on the PC to 1240x1024, the graphic looks similar to on the PS3+TV. But I never tried hooking up the PC to the TV or vice versa...(i never said I did...)
So the perceived image difference could be on the display?
