1080i hellp plz

ok i really need hellp here

i have 60" philips hdtv with dvi connection it does not support 720p only 1080i

so i bought component cables at bestbuy and i can only get ntsc i cant get 420p or 1080i

hmmm so do u think if i get dvi cable will i be able to achive 1080i on my tv

i dont wanna waste 60$ if not.

also i use to have xbox 360 and i played on same tv 1080i

so tv works fine

atm i expirience poor picture quality almost same as ps2

so i am very desprate to fix this

ps: if i get dvi cable i would have to get separet cable for audio right ?

and waht kind of audio cable ?

hmmm either u doing something wrong while setting it up or u got the wrong cables.

also most games dont support 1080i so u might have to force it to work, by only checking the 1080i box in the set up menu.

oh and your tv might be big but tvs that cant even support 720p suck, so u might wanna invest in a better one when u can

well i got original ps3 component cables also i know how to setup but it just cant handle anything above ntsc resolution for some veird reason . i am just wondering will dvi cable fix this

also this tv is not bad at all i played xbox 360 on it and i was amazed with picture quality since it was displaying it at 1080i

i just wanna get my ps3 to do same thing

does anyone alse have this problem ?

yes like i said i know how to set it up its just it does not work for some reason :(

all i can think off is maybe component cable is issue and i am trying to find out will dvi cable fix it ?

What do u mean original ps3 component cables? If u mean the cables that come with your ps3 those arent compoent and cant display 1080i

no i bought component cables from bestbuy paid like 25$

but they wont display 1080i

Theres no reason if they were the proper cables, and your tv in fact functions properly, that they wouldnt be displaying in 1080i. Something in what your telling us doesnt work out. Either your doing something wrong or.... your doing something wrong.

Try the DVI cable and see if that fixes it, but I cant figure why the component cables wouldnt be working.

yea like i said i dont think i am doing anything wrong i googled this and i found many posts about ps3 and 1080i but all of them are like over a year old i was thinking that sony might have fixed this in one of the patches or something .

also tv works fine so i know for fact tv is not isue its PS3

now if ther is anyone out ther with same problem and got solution i would like to hear it out

i dont wanna go and waste 60$ on dvi cable if sony didnt fix isue yet

hmmm that was nice find , but it didnt hellp me much at all...

it looks like i have problem seting resolution to 1080i when i turn ps3 on i dont even have to start the game up

if it was just downscaling when game starts i would understand and it would be sony's foult for not making it upscale games

but i am having problem as soon i start up ps3 in menu it wont dispaly any resolution higher thne NTSC ..

ahh god damn it

the fact that u cant even display 1080i on the xmb really makes me think it has something to do with your cablesmarcl18123

yea i think i will go to bestbuy today and get hdmi to dvi cables and see will that fix the problem

if not i hope i can return them :)

Ps: if i get hdmi to dvi cable will i need separate audio cables and if so which one ?

Lastly, you'll need to go into the PS3's "sound settings" and make sure you go to "audio output settings" and change it to whatever the diagram on the TV shows that matches your setup. So basically you'll be using two cables for the audio and video.
