This is with a PS3 to monoprice HDMI cable to Westinghouse 47W1 (fw 1.04)

FWIW :-)

Same TV here. Update did not make one bit of difference. I am ready to sell this POS3

My Hitachi (60vs810a) works fine w/the PS3 over HDMI. Games are in 720p (Resistance) and 1080i (Ridge Racer) and BR discs show in 1080i. All in all, no complaints here.

Oh, monoprice for HDMI cables just plain rules.

I've been experiencing some minor color banding with my new Westy '37 W3. It's notable in grayish colors, especially in Resistence. Here's a video where you should be able to see the lines clearly (focus on the stairs).

I'm trying to confirm if this is just a normal thing for the TV, or if it could be a problem with the system or TV. I don't experience this in more colorful games (Genji 2, Lemmings). I'm using an HDMI to HDMI cable from monoprice.

Are there any benefits to using HDMI to DVI over HDMI to HDMI? Would there be better picture quality, less, or the same?

Please Help with HDTV Setup Display.

I have a 5-6 year old Toshiba 50" HDTV which displays 480p and 1080i. No 720p or 1080p. I can not get my PS3 to display a 16:9 display while playing games. Blu-Ray shows widescreen in 1080i. Under video output setup options I select component cables & 1080i. I get no option of choosing 16:9 or 4:3 display output. I called Sony and they have no idea of whats going on. I will try to test the system on a newer 16:9 TV, but would like to get it to work on my TV as a widescreen display (i.e. black bars above and below the display). Thanks.

from what i've read, this is a common problem with older HDTV's that don't display 720P, kmcrawfo.

i hate to say it but your SOL.

I wonder if it would work if I bought a HDMI-DVI adapter and then attached a DVI to Component cable. Maybe the PS3 would recognize HDMI output and allow me to select a 16:9 display ratio. Any thoughts?

Try this one.

I'm certain it's a problem on the PS3's end, because a recent PC-to-LCD test with gradients showed no signs of banding. They don't show up during cable programing either.

I have the 4095D and not a single problem. Just make sure you select HDMI as your video source before you take out your AV or component cables. If you don't your TV will say NO SIGNAL, and you will have to plug the AV or component cables back in and then select HDMI. Other than that, it is totally bad a$$!!!

That's not correct.
I hooked mine up with the HDMI cable & the PS3 recognized that & asked if I wanted to output on HDMI in the setup screen.

Was that at the very begning of the initial setup? I did my initial setup with the AV cable and kept it that way. Then I got component and changed it, then I got the 4095D and only hooked up the HDMI. The TV could never find it (no signal) and the settings in the PS3 never changed. So then I had to do as I mentioned, rehook up the components and select HDMI in the video settings. What type of TV do you have?

Yes that was at the first of the inital setup.
I haven't even used the composite cable that came with it or the componet cable from my PS2, the HDMI is the only cable hooked up to it except for the optical output.
My TV is the Sony KDS-R70XBR2.

you can just hook the hdmi cable up and hold the power button for 5 seconds on the next power up... the ps3 should reset the settings and detect the hdmi cable

But about 3/4 of the time, it doesn't handshake properly and the screen will enter an endless cycle of turning on and off. I've found that a temporary solution is to just switch away from the HDMI input and switch back -- repeat until it works. Turning the TV off and on, or unplugging and replugging the HDMI cable, can fix it too. Once it does initialize properly, it continues to work fine for hours.

This happens on all video modes, although I think it happens more on some modes than others.

I've tried two PS3s, two HDMI cables (different lengths), and two 47w1 TVs, so it's not a hardware or cabling problem.

When I talked to Westinghouse this past weekend they said they'd look into it.
When I talked to Sony they said they had never heard of such a problem.

I have just talked to Sony support about this problem with the PS3 and the LVM-37w3 and they said that they will send me a box to put the PS3 and ship it back to them and then I will get a new PS3 in 7 to 10 days.

Is this possibly a manufacturing issue that they have already identified?

You did???? I actually called them Today as well and the guy told me that this is a Westinghouse issue. He also said that he could send me another PS3 but that wouldn't make any difference.

I talked to the Westinghouse Tech support people and they said it was a PS3 issue. They said that the current work around was to use the HDMI to DVI cable and use one of the DVI inputs in the monitor. I have read on other postings that supposedly the issue even exist with DVI port 1 in the Westinghouse displays and that you should use only DVI 2 with the HDMI to DVI cable. However I cannot confirm this myself as I do not have a DVI cable.

Will they ship you a new PS3 right away then? Or you have to send it first and they will ship it to you as soon as they get it? How does it work? They also said in Westinghouse that I could use a HDMI-DVI cable but I don't have one! I said that I was going to buy one to test it but that I needed confirmation that this was indeed working. The guy in Westinghouse said that he could not confirm it because they do not support convertion.

No, they will not ship the PS3 right away. They will do the following:

1. Send me a box via UPS overnight and instructions on how to pack my PS3.
2. My PS3 will travel back to them via UPS overnight.
3. Once they receive my PS3 then I will have mine sent and this process should take 7 to 10 days (I assume it depends on hardware availability).

I told the lady that I did not want to send the PS3 during the holidays as I will have some free time to use it (finally!), and she said that once the box is sent to me, I have a month to send it back to them.
