Playin' PS3 Games In HD...HELP
How do you play the games in HD?
Are there some settings you have to adjust to play them in HD? And if so,How?
I have a HDMI cable connected to my PS3 and my HD TV and display looks good but doesn't look like HDdoes?
Cheers

Within the settings menu on the PS3, there is an option which allows you to select the video output resolution. Make sure that's set the highest resolution you can choose for your TV. It should be the highest by default, so I assume you're just being picky.

Right...
I went into Display Setting > Video Output Settings > Resolution and it asks which type the connector on my HD TV is...Which would be HDMI..So I accept that then the screen goes blank and says Resolution Type Not correct...And then back to square one and the Res. is 576i....Maybe Im not doing something right?!

not all the games support 1080i or 1080p, some games only output a resolution of HD720, ive got all my ones checked to save the hassle of having to manually select. if the games support 1080p they'll play it in it, if not it will go for the next available that both your tv support and the game in hand.

take GTA:IV for example, that can only output at 720, and in all fairness the graphics aren't that great for it, not far off GTA  A!!!

It was a case of the Xbox 360's main screen not really being that high def, and my TV not supporting 1:1 pixel mapping over component. I've got a HDMI 360 now, and also a better TV. Xbox main menu still looks rubbish on a 1080 TV as opposed to a 720, but the games look good. There's a new 360 dashboard coming out in less than 2 weeks, that should be in 1080 I would imagine...

Doesn't sound good. What's the TV make and model number? If it's "HD Ready" it will support a 720p resolution, and also *accept* a 1080i resolution, and downscale it... The fact that your PS3 goes back to 576 is a concern. IIRC, in that settings menu you mention, there's an area where you choose the compatible resolutions your TV supports, but that might be after you choose your connection type. You've either got a dodgy HDMI cable, or your TV is simply not an HD TV.

The TV Is a 26" Sharp (*Refurbished*) HD Ready LCD
http://direct.tesco.com/search/defau...urbished+sharp
Refurbished being the Vital word...The cable is Wharfdale from Argos..
I can't imagine it to be the cable...And Iv'e looked into all the TV Settings and theres no mention whatsoever of HD...Its like Iv'e bought A TV thinking it was HD when really it aint...Cheers for your help lads

Yeh my menu system is shocking, the main dashboard isnt actually too bad, but when I press the middle X button it is so bad...
I need to check this pixel mapping, does your new TV have it? My games are pretty sound too but your right, this new dashboard will probably be 1080...

i swear when you switch from Scart to HDMI you have to reset your ps3 to get it to work...... think you hold down the power button for like 30 seconds or something whilst on red light ....... have a search on the net

Yeah...
I read that somewhere You hold the on button while its off for about 5-6 secs until you hear the second beep then the Video Settings are reset but then I go into Display to switch it to HDMI and the screen goes blank/black for 30 seconds...Which means the Res is incorrect...Arrghhh

There is a difference between HD ready and Full HD.
Most games don't even come in Full HD yet.
When I had my PS3 I thought the graphics were shit.....sold it.
Xbox with 50inch Plasma playing Lego Batman (haha) rocks
