Ps3 and new hdtv problem what to do?

May be...

so i got this new vizio hdtv. my ps3 is set-up to run hd. well when i turn it on, the xmb does not show up, and the tv says does not support. well if i press x to get the game going (still cant see it btw) the game starts and then i can see the game. i can press the ps button and see the ingame xmb, but if i quit it goes back to the black screen and i cant see anything. anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

It sounds like your new Vizio does not support the resolution your PS3 is putting out in the home screen, you can change the setting by turning off your playstation, then hold the on button for a few seconds while it starts up, the system will default to 480p, and will allow you to choose the correct settings, good luck

same thing here but i bought an hdmi cable and then on the remote just pressed input like 4 times until it said hmdi 1 or 2 depending on the one you plugged it into. then my went blank and just appeared after a few seconds. hope this helps p.s. i also have a vizio 42 inch

Are you using HD cables? Component (Red, Green, Blue) or HDMI?
