Ok so i recently hooked up my my ps3  to my new 1080p HD monitor and i can play blu ray dvds but I cant play standard dvds for some reason all that happens is the screen goes blank does anyone know a way to fix this?

Does the PS3 recognise standard CDs, or PSX format discs?
If not, then it's pointing towards a red laser failure in your drive.

The only other suggestion at present is... Is the DVD surface free from smudges? I had an issue with a rental DVD giving a black screen. Turned out to be a mark on the surface. Not a huge one, but it must have been in exactly the wrong place. Either that or the PS3's drive is less tolerant to muck on discs than some  dedicated units.

goto display settings and make sure (if you have 1080p) the resolutions are all checked the goto the settings which has all the blu ray/dvd settingsin there and make sure all the dvd settings are set to upscaled.

If i had use of the tv i would be alot more presise but alas eastenders is on at the moment.

The blu ray drive in the ps3 is very tolerant to muck on the discs.

i done a mini experiment and my dvd player upstairs wont read some discs but the ps3 will.

Perhaps in my case, like I supposed, the mark was in exactly the wrong place. Granted, I rarely have playback issues.

the options arent all available for selecting upscaled theres only one and i think that has to do with the screen size i just the low down u know instructions u know in steps 1 2 3 4 5 6 u get?
