Forum:Video Options

I just got the Screenplay Pro, and I have it connected to my TV with an HDMI cable. However, in Video Setup, the only connection showing is Component, and on the video output page, I can select 480p, but 1080i and 1080p are both grayed out and unavailable. What do I do to get the video display to go to 1080i?

Thanks in advance

 * I think you meant 720p, not 1080p. The screenplay doesn't support 1080p.  If both options are grayed out, then it doesn't think your HDTV is capable of displaying those resolutions.  The screenplay requests the capabilities from the TV.  There is a protocol for getting that information, but a bad HDMI cable or an incompatibility with the particular TV could cause it to not recognize the other modes.  I'd suggest trying out the screenplay on another, different brand HDTV (maybe a neighbor's, and using the neighbor's cable).  That would help determine if it is the screenplay, the cable, or the TV causing the problem.  --JCoug 06:48, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
