HDMI Only 480/576p on philips 42pfl9664

    Hi guys,

    Just looking for some help. I just picked up my new tv today a philips 42pfl9664 and a sony bdps360 bluray player. the tv is beautiful... :D

    Anyway, what i'm wondering is when i play a bluray disc and check the info on the tv it shows up as 480p. Also played a standard dvd and it displays as 576p. As per the sticky here i bought a cheap 3 metre HDMI cable (3M Gold 24k 1.3b HD 1080p) as I would never spend €60-100 for a cable.

    The bluray and dvd images both look fantastic but i have no idea if it should be better or if the tv is displaying the resolution incorrectly? Any thoughts on this? Is the HDMI cable just not good enough? And why does the standard dvd display a higher resolution than the bluray disc? :confused:

    Any thoughts greatly appreciated thanks.

    Have you set your blu ray player to output 1080p?

    :o Thanks ffocused, yeah was going through the menus on the bluray player earlier this evening and found that the output video format was set to video. The other 2 options are component video and HDMI. Once HDMI is selected I can then select 1080p output video resolution.

    I expected this would have been set to output 1080p by default on the HDMI port. I wonder how many people out there are watching their bluray discs in 480p resolution thinking (like me :o) that the picture quality is great? I probably would never have known had i not checked the screen info...
