I have my ps3 connected to my pdp-503hde plasma. I'm getting good picture quality and the ps3 is outputting 720p (1280x720) BUT my plasma screen resolution says 800x600 (SVGA) when I turn it on. I know the plasma is capable of wxga (1280x768) so why is not automatically going to this resolution and how can I get it to? I hope someone can help me figure this out. Thanks.

At the back there is wire is which one is the correct one .

hi,
You have to check the power supply board. Its a common problem with the power supply of the Pioneer PDP. As it is using smd coponnents there is no repair possible with the power supply . You have to replace the power supply board with a new one. You can find the part number in the board. Serch with the part number to find a new board.
OK

Yes it is but upto 720P only. It is not full HD(1080P).

go into your dispay menu and adjust the response 50-60hrz or if your tv is capped at 1080i then drop the ps3 to 720p and that will smooth it out alittle too as the interlaced picture is alittle choppy apposed to progressive picures and finally sometimes they just do it no rhyme or reason to it so dont go crazy about this ok :)

Change the resolution on the cable box or satellite box, witch ever you have. A set by itself cannot change the resolution, if the cable is giving you 720p, that's what you'll see for that station. All stations do not transmit in HD. The best picture is only as good as they're giving you.

Match the PS3's output resolution to your TVs (in this case 720p).
Don't sit too close, otherwise you'll start to see individual pixels.
Make sure the HDMI cable is good quality.
As for picture settings, they will very so much according to the viewing conditions that i cannot give you settings that are gauranteed to work for you. But sharpness should always be 0 when dealing with HD content.
If you want to really get the best picture from your TV, try using a THX disc to calibrate it. Luckily these are normally included on Disney PIXAR DVDs, so go find yourself a copy of CARS or something. Follow the instructions of the THX setup, and you should have youself a sweet looking picture in no time.

Hope this Helps.

Plasma TV normally do not have the resolution required for PS3 unless the plasma TV is fullHD( 1920x1080p) pixels.

HD Ready Plasma = 1024 x 768p
PS3 Outputs = (fullHD)1920x1080 or (HDReady) 1280 x 720p.

LCD TV accepts the resolution matches the resolution the PS3 is outputting.

The cable box is probably outputting a resolution the monitor is not compatible with. Computer monitor and television resolutions are usually different, and not cross compatible in some cases.

For example, wide screen monitors are usually 16:10 aspect ratio, while TV is usually 16:9 aspect.

The AL2216wbd is a 1680x1050 display, while HD TV is either 720p (1280x720) or 1080i (1920x1080).

If your cable box is set to 1080i that would be too high for the monitor. You will need to set it to output at 720p, and even then you will probably get a vertically stretched picture since the monitor has a taller aspect.

You need a new y-drive board and possibly a couple of buffer ic's replaced.The ic's definiately need to be replaced by a tv tech.

you guessed right you got a problem with the projector, I always point my finger to Power suppy problems on these sets for about any other problem would mean throw-away or too expensize to fix. good luck
