PlayStation®3 Technical Help

Thanks. Yeah I understand what 720i/p and 1080i/]p are, I have just had terrible luck with TVs in this household and PS3s.
It is really bugging me.
I will go round a friends at the weekend and uncheck 720p to see if I can even get it to display anything through HDMI. The tv my parents use in the lounge is a Samsung LE26B450 wihch does not work straight into the HDMI port, with PS3 and has HDCP issues with our BT vision box too so has to be watched in SD

I know the feeling mate - I had a SAMSUNG TV .It had serious display issues with the ps3 over HDMI (weird pixel breakup).

Samsung were aware of it - They told me to contact SONY as it was their problem.Contacted SONY and they blamed SAMSUNG.

Thankfully the shop replaced it for a different model.

I'm really puzzled by your problem though - It clearly supports 720p via your laptop.I dont understand why it not displaying an image.

Hope you find a fix.

Yeah, well when I plug it into the Samsung it displays that it is outputting 720x 576 on a black screen, so that means it is 576p or something, which is the only box left if you untick all the others when changing ps3 settings for HDMI (i think, don't remember though) and then when plugged back into the LG it is also a black screen. Seriously contemplating ordering a new 40" and just wall mounting it... Thinking it may be a problem to do with the power supply in the house too haha but that's a bit far out..
Yeah contacting them probably wont help, it will just be a big phone bill and ping ponging between companies. I would sell the LG but it's really old and can't find it in stores online anywhere.
If it's any help, when i plugged the BT vision box via HDMI-DVI into the LG, it said 'HDMI signal unable to display through this TV' or something along those lines - but tbh it doesn't work on the samsung either and gives the error 'hdcp authentication failed' which is unusal as it's a HD ready tv with 3 HDMI ports. Laptop works through it fine though, GRRR. Sorry if i'm just blurting out random information but if anyone else can help that would be great

Another little update - Tried 'Restore Default Settings' and still not working. Again, sorry for double posts but it wont let me edit after a certain time - also sorry if I sound moody

Mmmm, not sure if this is gonna be "good news" or "bad news"

I had some free time and after reading your thread I did a little digging and unfortunately fouhd no real answer BUT....I did find this...

It seems it is possible for the hdmi to dvi to work on your TV because someone else has managed to do it. 

Of course, unfortunately, still no real use to you other than seemingly harrowing down the problem to the settings of either your PS3 or your TV......but it can work.

Sorry to be of so little use, hope you figure it out

Thanks for the help and researching for me. I suppose it is a bridge between the two. It's good to know that this TV model can display a PS3 through HDMI but also kind of bad because my one won't.
I will have a go with a friends tv over the weekend and change some settings around, but for now I have ordered a composite cable (Useful for me anyway as I can use it on le PS2).
The only problem with that is the LG can only display 576i through composite and not 1080i due to it being so old. So it will only look a little better than SCART. Anyway, thanks for the help - tis appreciated

All right. It's useless. I went to a friends house to try it out and worked straight away again on his TV, full 1080p goodness. Unchecked all 1080p, 1080i, and 720p before i left so HDMI options only left 576i, plug it back into the LG and nothing. Balls!
So am going to end up getting eiher this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-UE32D5000-32-inch-Widescreen-Freeview/dp/B004S5ZWJM/ref=wl_it_dp_o_n...
or the HD ready version which is a bit cheaper..

Unless anybody can offer some advice?

When you turn on the ps3 hold down the on button until you here two beeps. This puts it into HDMI mode. Do the same with A/V cables plugged into to return it to A/V mode

As stated in the first post I have tried this many times already, and is still not working. I take back the last post, expensive tv!

Anyone know if the above is HDCP compliant?
