Playstation 3 resolution?

Question

heyyy i just bought component cables and i have a hdtv that goes up to 1080i. So i tried to change the resolution at system settings and i went into the display settings. I chose component cables, checked marked the 1080i box and i went on. The screen goes black with white streaks and after about 30 seconds it goes back to the screen with all the resolution options. How do i fix this those cables cost me 45 buckss!!!!

Answer 1

The PS3 automatically chooses the best/highest resolution your tv will allow. You say the screen goes black and with white streaks? Well that's because your tv doesn't support that high of a resolution.

Answer 2

when you are selecting resolutions do you click 720p cause if you do that is the problem only click 480p and 1080i cause tv's that support 1080i dont support 720p

Answer 3

your tv must support a 60 hertz output to display ps3 in 1080i
