As many here know, one of the additions with the new 2.2 firmware for the PS3 is a Mosquito noise reduction. This joins two other types of noise reduction that quite frankly, I've never touched.

My thought has always been that using these types of processing will alter the image, and perhaps not for the better. I've had my set calibrated by our own Gregg Loewen a couple of times, and leave it the way he set it. I tend to not use any processing modes with my players either.

Yet, I've been reading on a couple of boards that wondrous results occur with a PS3 when you turn all three filters up to 3 (the max setting).

What do you more knowledgeable folk think? Leave these new-fangled things alone for a purer image, or is there really a worthwhile performance boost here?

I'm running a 53" Pioneer CRT RPTV, BTW.
