did you head over to the display settings and tick the 720p?

yes, i tried gta4. at the upper left corner, it says "480p" pulak!

done that already

*sighs* now tomorrow must head back to the shop and ask them if they know what's wrong. is it possible the culprit is my el-cheapo hdmi cable? got kena mengena or not?

Don't think its the el-cheapo hdmi cables, 20bucks hdmi cable from play-asia works like charm too. You could always try other hdmi cable to confirm it

erm..have you tried checking the TV's settings?
maybe got a setting to enable 720p?

That's what i'm going to do tomorrow. Try borrow the tv shop's hdmi cable and see.

hm.. donno lah.. havent finish reading the manual yet. hehe. you can get 720p on ps3?

im getting mine tomorrow.
dude,you have me scared,right now

first thing; i cant get 720p with my laptop
now you cant get 720p with the ps3,WITH HDMI cables

my enthusiasm for getting the ps3 is lowering now..

try this:

on your remote,press MENU.
then go to SETTINGS.
then fiddle around there.
there's a SETUP option,which also includes a HDMI MENU.

try that

the s400 can only go 1024 x 768 and other xxxx X 768 resolution on the pc connection. But for the hdmi connection the manual says u can get 720p...i haven't try it though since i dun have a ps3 nor an xbox360.

so, i hope u guys can tell the result of ur fidlling afterwards

Hmm, that's what I thought too. 720p should be supported by any bravia 32 inchers rite? I'll be back.. with answers..

morning guys... undead where u bought ur s400 from since u said u from jb right & i'm still in the midst of surveying maybe can suggest certain certain shop which got gud offer ..

uh oh..... S 499 kenot accept 720p input?

can it support 1080p input?

I bought from Kedai TV dan Radio Wong at Century Garden. Ask for special price 'cause if you ask them first time, they will give you the price from the Sony Guide, which is RM2,499. I got mine much less than that ;-)

I'm still investigating this. Takkanla Bravia cannot accept 720p input rite? Must be my HDMI cable la. Got any extra for me to pinjam or not laupan?

thanks bro will go to that shop later....

Guys,
I might be wrong, but for a LCD TV to accept a 720p resolution from its VGA connector, u need Powestrip, which is a basically a utility than runs on your PC so that u can create a custom resolution for your VGA output

There's a guide here

actually,the S400A can accept a maximum of 1600*1200 when connected to a pc via vga cable.
the weird thing is, 720p cant be selected(the tv will say it is out of range)

Its plug and play for my tv

undead, trust me, not ur cable issue

ntsc pal issue? not possible also...

Hokeyh, I sudah pergi that kedai again during lunch hour just now. I borrowed their HDMI cable to test. Will provide answer later2.. tunggguuuuu

S400A has 3 HDMI inputs if I'm not mistaken. Have you try all the HDMI inputs? There's a possibility that the cable could be the culprit, which means that you're very unlucky. I'm using a cheap HDMI cable bought from Play-Asia with my Sony D series and got no problems.

After I did the greyscale calibation using the Spyder2 colorimeter and ColorHCFR, my Bravia PQ now is superb either with BD movies or HD mkv files. DVE calibration disc didn't give a very satisfying result. I went to the service menu to achieve D65K calibration standard.

Well, fulll HD is useful for 32" / 37" if you use it as a computer monitor.

Added on May 28, 2008, 4:47 pmI'm using an old ATI X1300 on my laptop and I'm able to output 1080p on the 46" W400 using DVI to HDMI connection. You should not have any problems with your 3870 card.

At least my DVE disc is not a waste as I use it's test patterns to calibrate with the Spyder2 and ColorHCFR....I've also learned a lot on HD basics through the DVE disc, now I'm watching BD movies in a dark room with only a 5w energy saver bulb put at the back of my bravia.... now thinking wheteher to get an i1 LT or not..... :stars
