How do you get full HD on a ps3 with the 2 red, green, yelow, and blue cables its only 480i?

May be...

i recently bought a new 42inch phillips HD tv for my family. and my son talked me into it because he has the ps3 40g and the hd stuff, but my step son told us to buy the colored cables so we did and when he plugged it in he noticed it said 480i not 1080p can any body tell us how to change it my son try ed be fore but did something wrong any. do i need to but different cables or in the display setup what does he do because we cant figure it out. it dosent say colored cables or have a picture of them.

First of all lokk at that cable you are using. One set of Yellow, Red and White should be seperate from the Red, Green and Blue(maybe also Red and White). Only plug the Red, Green and Blue cables into the TV.(also the appropriate sound cable) I am guessing you have that yellow one plugged in and are on that input on the TV. I hope this helps.

you have to go to Settings>Display Settings>Video Output Settings then configure the ps3 to either 1080p, 1080i or 720p.

You can get HD out of component (the one with lots of colors) but it doesnt have enough bandwidth to support Full HD and for that you need an HDMI cable

Since you have been using the SD cables, your ps3 thinks that it can only emit an SD signal even though you are using HD cables. You have to go to your ps3 settings and enable 480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080p. Then, you will get an HD quality signal.

The component video cables support up to 1080i and you could always buy a HDMI cable of amazon for 4 cents and give that a try. Other wise try changing the setting on the ps3 or it could be the game you are playing.

go into the video setting on the ps3 and click 480p, 720p,and 1080i the ps3 will then ask u do you want to keep this settings click yes..and your in hd heaven

the component cables of which you speak will give you full hd but he may need to change the settings on the ps3 to go to 1080p
