Ok so I'm getting really pissed off now, and before I put a fist sized hole through the LCD, I'll see if anyone here can help out.

Its pretty simple really...I've got a ps3, HDMI cable and a Samsung 19" LCD (LA19R71BX: Link to specs)

The PS3 works fine in full HD downstairs on the 46" Samsung M8 LCD, but people are usually watching that TV so I need to get it working up here as well.

Basically I plug the HDMI cable into the LCD, switch on the PS3 and LCD, and hit the 'source' button to get it into HDMI mode, where all I get is a blue screen and the message 'mode not supported'

Considering the TV is HD, has a HD input, I see no reason why it shouldn't work!

Hopefully someone here knows why and can sort it out for me.

Cheers

Holy shit... it only has a 8ms refresh rate. I didnt even know they made that anymore

i think it may be that you've set the PS3 to read at a cetain output level on your 46 incher, and now that you've moved down to a possibly smaller output level TV, your not getting the signal. You may have to plug it back into the bigger TV and screw with your settings.

a tech head may be able to explain it better, but im pretty sure thats teh problem

I took it back downstairs the last time I tried to connect it up here...the resolution setting is set to auto so in theory it should really adjust itself to the TV its being connected too...seems pretty stupid if you have to set it up on the other TV everytime you want to move it from one to another.

I don't know much about the PS3 since i don't have one, but that TV says it's HD ready. It just doesn't have a full HD res, which shouldn't matter, it should take the 1080i signals and display it anyway. Doesn't the PS3 do 1080p? Maybe the TV doesn't like that, it wants 1080i?

Screen Size 19"

Resolution 1440 x 900

Dynamic Contrast Ratio 600:1

HD Ready Yes

LCD 100Hz N/A

Try this Dezz.

1) Set the TV to HDMI mode

2) Connect the HDMI wire to TV and PS3

3) Hold the power button for 5 seconds until you hear 2 beeps

switch between the different HDMI channels if u have more than 1.. and look for a picture...

you dont have to disconnect anything in the back of the tv... just make sure the HDMI is the only video output attached to your ps3.

================

2) The secret video reset

One of the most annoying aspects of the PS3 are its video settings. Take it up to the bedroom portable or round to a friend's house and there's a good chance that you won't be able to see anything on screen because your 'new' TV is running at a different resolution or using a different cable connection. And - because you can't see anything - you can't change it.

Until now. Shut down your PS3 then restart by pressing and holding the power button.This will reset your PS3 to its most basic 480p graphics mode so you'll be able to see enough to choose RGB SCART, component, HDMI or whatever from here.

gave it a go, but holding down the PS button did nothing, apart from switch it on initially.

I tried it 2 ways, once with the PS3 off, pressed the PS button (which switced it on and continued to hold it waiting for 2 beeps), got nothing.

Then with the PS3 already on, I held it for more than 5 seconds and still got nothing.

:)

none of that reset stuff worked for me, but just now I've managed to make it work on this TV...in the most ridiculous way possible.

I took it downstairs, switched it on, and then went through the steps to get to the display settings auto setup part...I wrote down how many times I had to press each button (X, 4 left, 9 down X, X, X, X) which gets to the auto display setup. Then I brought it back upstairs and did it all again blind.

If thats what it takes to get it working every time then Sony are a pack of absolute retards.

You can try to set the tv to 60Hz, commonly used with game consoles these days, also the tv is only capable of 720p display output so set ps3 to that on your larger screen 1st, as you are already de-scaling the picture resolution from console as tv is 1366x768 maximum display resolution not 1980x1080p as your larger monitor is capable of. If all that fails get on the line to samsung customer support 1300# and they will talk you through setup :)

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
