I bought a 32″ Philips LCD TV that has two HDMI slots and goes up to 720 P HD.I bought it specifically to use with my Playstation 3.I bought a 16 foot HDMI cable made by Monster Cable company.It seems i have done it right,I put the HDMI cable on slot 1 and use source on my control to put it on HDMI 1,all i get is a black screen.Tried it again on slot 2 and switched TV to HDMI slot 2 on source and that one won’t work either.It works with standard connector cables that came with the PS 3 but I can’t get it to work with the HDMI cord to play in full HD.I am getting very stressed as i paid 900 for this TV and want to know if theres something I am doing wrong?
Try connecting the cables that came with your ps3, and also connect the HDMI cable. Go to your tv put it so it on the regular AV cable input channel. Then go into your ps3 menu for display and select HDMI then your screen should go black, switch to the input channel to the HDMI and it should work.
900 bucks for a 32″ HD television isn’t that much, so don’t get so stressed. Besides, it’s a Philips… and they’re known to be cantankerous pieces of ****. You should be complaining about spending too much for that overpriced Monster cable.
Read both manuals. Check to see that the output specs/settings of the Playstation match the input capabilities (usually quite limited) of the Philips. Chances are, something there is incompatible and/or needs to be changed to something that is compatible.
