Mx Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hey Guys, I just got my 46" Bravia and I was wondering, when will the 1080p for the Bravia's be fixed? I read up on a few blog posts about it being crippled for Sony Bravia's and I was just wondering when and if it will be fixed? I tried both VGA and component and got the symptons everyone has described. Cheers :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNSBarry Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 the latest 360 update from last week should fix it. Make sure you've got that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 the latest 360 update from last week should fix it. Make sure you've got that. Thats right, if you still got faults then maybe the TV is faulty or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mx Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Hrm, the latest update should fix the Bravia issue? What is the latest Dashboard number? And it should work via component, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbsodx Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I thought that the bravia tv's only supported 1080p signals via HDMI? :unsure: Thats how I understood it when I was looking at them on the Sony site anyway. Maybe it was badly worded. What does it say in the tv manual about 1080p support on which connections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was badly worded. What does it say in the tv manual about 1080p support on which connections? It isn't too clear in the manual. From what I can see, the max supported by VGA is 720p. Man, I suck at this stuff lol, if anyone has an insite regarding this TV, etc, please do say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbsodx Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Lol, damn I thought you were going to know all the info about them. In terms of the bravia X range tv's on the sony site they say: The new HD Ready X series LCD has 1920x1080 resolution with 1080p signal capability via HDMI, Live Colour Creation and BRAVIA ENGINE EX for high performance picture quality. If the "1080p signal capability via HDMI" comment means exclusively over HDMI i'm not too sure either. Anyone else know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spex04 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 KDL-46W2000 - http://www.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.act...gory=TVP+LCD+TV According to the user manual, only the following are supported over component: 1080i, 720p, 576p, 576i, 480p, 480i About the VGA connection, I guess it should be able to display at max resolution, which is 1920x1080 (i.e. 1080p), but don't quote me on that because I'm probably as knowledgable about it as you are.

Mx Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Dang it. Lol, I think it only does 1080p over HDMI. So I will be fine for when I get my PS3, but until then, just hope MSFT release a HDMI cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User6060 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Hahaha, I bet Sony made their TV only accept 1080p over HDMI just so that x360 owners get the shaft :p Alls fair in war though...as long as you win the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that you have paid far too much for something that dosent produce the goods, only does 1080p via HDMI is poor. http://www.empiredirect.co.uk/content/prod...TOS-47WLT66.htm ?400 quid cheaper (?1630) and does 1080p via all connections , HDMI/Component and VGA and does 100Hz iirc. Upto you, I just feel Sony's TV do not offer value or performance for the money you pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
