Why can't I set my PS3's resolution to 1080p?

blakey_8 · 12-08-09, 10:45 PM

When I try to set my PS3's resolution to 1080p, the screen goes blank and reverts back to 1080i. I have a Baird 27 inch LCD TV (not sure of the proper model name) which I am sure is full HD. Why is my PS3 doing this?

Thanks.

what model number is it? the only 27 inch model i can find listed is the Baird MACL 27 W 18 27 in - 16:9 - Resolution: 1366 - 768.
If it's this one it is not a full HD (1080p) panel.
so your tv can only display 720p or 1080i and that is why your ps3 is reverting back to 1080i setting.

hope that helps

That's what I thought as well but the guy in the shop said it was full HD..... strange. Is their any difference in quality between 1080i and 1080p? I also have a 42 inch LCD TV of the same make downstairs and that displays the PS3 in 1080p.

I had this problem..

I did a full factory restore thingy-ma-bob and it went on 1080p on every tv i tried it on (4)

Hope this works for you, however the restore deleted all my data, settings, connection settings and game saves and formatting

But at least it fixed my problem haha!

I also changed the HDMI wire...

Right... but you can also use a A/V-receiver, which makes it possible to upscale the 1080i into 1080p.. works for me!

It's right, I can make do with 1080i. I was just abit confused as to why my TV wouldn't let me do it. I found it that is is just HD Ready and not Full HD

I am using a HDMI lead, it's my TV that isn't compatible with Full HD.
