He has a philips LCD with only one DVI input - Therefore no audio after connecting with an adapter! If he tried to route the sound via the ps3 av lead into the tv's rca's he'd have to change the av channel on his tv giving sound but now no video! Next to the DVI connection on his TV there is a DVI audio input which looks like a 3.5mm audio jack but as far as i can tell theres no way to get audio from the ps3 into the tv via this format? Any ideas anyone? watsie. My friend has a problem with his ps3 setup!

I had to do it with my HDTV too when I noticed I was losing data around the edges, particularly when using the Virtual Console on my Wii. It's not something you want to screw around with casually because you can make things pretty stupid really quick, but as long as you're just going to be moving your borders in or out, I think you should give it a try.

I just tested it out (thanks to the snow I'm at home) and yes the component video cable from the PS2 which fits the PS3 can go all the way up to 1080i (and 1080p if my set could handle it). Interestingly, it looks just a tad less crisp than the 1080i from the HDMI-DVI cable, and it runs over the left about half as far as the DVI connection does. But this component cable is damaged, so occasionally the picture fizzles out, so I'd need to get another one to go down that road. Given that I'm seeing PS2-PS3 component video cables going for ten or fifteen bucks at the low end these days it might be something to check into. It is nice to have options. Thanks James!

My recommendation is to go buy a Component connector for the thing and see if that fixes your issue, HDMI is unnecessary. If it doesn't help, then return it, if it does help then just sell the HDMI cable. And if you tell the Wife that you now have to buy a new TV simply to support the PS3, please call me first. I want to make sure I shield my eyes before the flash. I’d like to say that buying a new TV will fix your problem, but there’s no guarantee.

Yes, a lot of this is because your TV is older, but really many of the problems you mention still plague new TVs as well. Right now we are in a transition period and not all the standards have been set. For years all TVs played one format and it was good. Now we have 30 different combinations of formats, so a lot of people are really gonna have to tweak their setups. One thing I noticed, about the screen being drawn to the left, I can't remember if the PS2 had it, but I know my gamecube had the ability to move the image on screen left and right in the setting menu. Maybe the PS3 has this somewhere as well. I know it wasn't on my TV, it was on the console. Welcome to the wonderful world of HD.
