When I set the RGB to full range and then turn off the console it pops back to limited - any ideas ? lukasz_erecinsk

There's a lot of debate over on AV Sciences Forums about this problem (or lack thereof).  I'll post over here after I have had a chance to play with my PS3.

Not all HDTV's Suppot Full Range RGB, also you have to use it with HDMI only. Second part of that is obvious but I wanted to say it all.

Here is my proof.

Yeah, after further investigation, this update has some overly complicated features.  Not too many people know (nor do most manuals mention) a TV's RGB color range and/or if the TV and source media are x.v.Color compatible.  Calibrating an HDTV is complicated enough without this stuff.

Well it's kinda simple with the PS3. If its compatible it stays set if its not it goes to limited. Not too much fuss.

I am sorry if this is a stupid question, or if it has already been answered, but I have to download the updates via my PSP, so do I just need to download the latest update, or all of the updates?

Thanks

Can someone tell me how "Search for media servers" works for my Windows XP and PS3? I tried...things...and it didn't work.

It just says "No server found."

Hey! I want to knowzguess

You wish is granted.

The media center option is really crude in my opinion so it will probably be corrected with the next updates but anyway have both PS3 and Laptop on the same IP connection.

Open WMP11

Go to the "search for media center" option above any ove the PS3 media bars, search for one.

In WMP11 click library then media sharing. Then enable the PS3 it may be called unknown object though. by this time ps3 should have found your wmp11. Set that up, then go to wmp11

Go to library again and select your media (i.e pictures, music) so that a dot highlights/selects it. Then go to add to library and add your folders you want to share.

Are you kidding? I thought the general consenses among us PS3 owners is that the 1.80 update was fairly groundbreaking. It was wasnt HUGE, but it did give us new features that we've been wanting.

Go to http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Network/Updatesfor the entire 1.8x listing.

The only changes for 1.81 are:

1) The method of setting [RGB Full Range (HDMI)] under [Display Settings] has been improved.
2) The stability of the network connection used during gameplay has been improved for some PlayStation®2 format software titles that support online gaming.

I was wondering if anyone has figured out the connectivity issues. Was hoping that was resolved with 1.81. My network is set up perfectly but network connection via wireless is sporadic and unreliable.

Have you confirmed that it's the PS3's fault and not your router? Those things aren't always 100% reliable no matter what.

Yes, it's totally true. I'm willing to bet the farm on it.

Why shouldn't there be a 2.0? They're on version 1.82, so 2.0 seems attainable.

Oh, you wanted to know if it's coming soon? I don't know.

The1.82 update is scheduled for release within a few days. It includes support for AVC High Profile (H.264/MPEG-4) files and probably some more PS2 compatibility.(http://blog.us.playstation.com/2007/06/26/firmware-182-coming-soon/)

Perhaps when 2.0 is near release, they'll post something on their blog.

I find the new update a little useless from the fact that the update will be a 100 meg file to download just for this new audio format file ? The high quality mp3 do the job for me and I dont realy need this to be the reason for another update. They could include this in a more important update like 2,0.

Or, they could give us this so that we could use it now, since 2.0 is probably not "right around the corner."
