If you do not have a picture, hold down the power button on the front of the PS3 for 5-10 seconds and you'll get a picture.

Go into the Settings in the XMB and arrow down to Display Settings. Ensure HDMI is selected and the output resolutions are all checked (720p, 1080i, 1080p, etc). The PS3 will output the display at the highest resolution that your TV can handle.

Yes that is the easiest way to reset the video display. The PS3 and tv will do an HDMI shake and choose the resolutions your tv supports.

I have a 720p tv (768 native), but it'll also accept a 1080i signal. Should I set the PS3 output at 1080i or 720p? Would 720p be the better choice so that I get progressive scan, or would 1080i give games a bit more detail?

it depends on the frame rate of the game.


For >30 frames/second, 720p would be better. For 30 or less, 1080i could be better, provided all of the processing is pulled off right. I recommend you try both ways.

Since most games have a native resolution of 720p, I would leave it at that.
