1080p Games only play in 720p, whats wrong?

For games like this, you can turn off 720p and 1080i in your display settings. If the game supports 1080p, this will force it to display at that resolution.

However: if a game supports both 720p and 1080p, and defaults to 720p even when 1080p is selected, there is usually a reason for that. It happens because the developer of the game has specifically made it happen that way - and it means that they think that the game runs and/or looks better in 720p. You may be better off just leaving them running in 720p.

However if you would like to play the game in 1080p, go to your display settings and disable 720p. This will force it to run at 1080p resolution.

You might have a 720p or 1080i tv

You have to have two of two things :P
a 1080p HDMI cable and a 1080p TV
and after you out it in go to display settings and put automatic
if that doesn't work then the game supports only 720p

If im right there should be a Scan only feature in ur ps3 display/screen settings/options..
if u trigger this it will automaticly change ur resolution to 720p or 1080p depending on the max. resolution that ur game runs on..

i had the same problem when i just bought a ps3..
did some searching about it on google and this is probably the answer u were looking for..
a gold plated HDMI cable makes a huge difference to..
