Your TV can only present resolutions as good as the source you provide it. For instance a standard DVD likely provide 720 or less resolution while a good Blu-Ray will deliver 1080 content to you TV and show "1080" as it receives the data from the Blu-Ray player as the movie begins. You may see this number switch often even on 1 single DVD as the resolution often changes between movie trailers and the main content and menus can all have different qualities. So, your TV is only as good as the content you feed it. It can not make the content better then the original source you provide. Hope that helps

SOURCE: how do I get 1080 on TV

You only get it if they send it. Only Blue Ray DVD's are in 1080p and games I suppose, as of this time. everything else is 480i or 720p. As your manual says "TV CAN GET"--- not produce what isn't there. I hope this helps.

My Toshiba 55HT1U is showing 480p instead of 1080p. Why is it not on 1080p?

It is probably your video source. If you are using component video, some devices only output 480p.

Check the settings of your sources. The TV will display only what the device sends to it.

In most devices under a settings directory there will be settings labeled "Video" or "Resolution" Changing these settings to more appropriate High Definition resolutions should solve your problem.

Trying to hook-up a PS3 to my Toshiba 32AV500U thru HDMI but I get no picture. I forget how to get to the setup.

The Toshiba 32AV500U cannot display 1080p. Hook up your PS3 to your computer monitor, provided that it can display 1080p, or some other TV that can, then change your Video Output settings under Settings> Display Settings and uncheck 1080p, which will allow the PS3 to display in 1080i. Once you do that, then hook up the Toshiba via HDMI and it will work with no problem.
