Hey guys!
I bought a new TV today at boxing day, it's the Sony EX62 46'' (Bravia support).
I now have an issue with HDMI connecting on it.
I have an Xbox 360 which supports 1080p, and my TV also supports it.
I plugged my HDMI wire on my xbox to my TV's HDMI 1 port, and went into my Xbox's settings to force it to 1080p, but when I do, the screen flickers every 2-3 seconds and some weird blue and red vertical lines streak my screen, which is unbearable and obviously not playable. I have set it to 1080i which works perfectly, so does 720p.
I don't understand where the problem comes from, is it the cable? It couldn't be, because it's new out of the box. Is it the TV port? Can't be because when set to 1080i or another aspect ratio, it works wonderfully. So this leads me to think, is it the Xbox? is it a problem of compatibility settings between both machines?
Here's what I tried:
- Connecting to another HDMI port
- Using another HDMI cable
- Forcing my TV into 1080p, which I can't do for $hit, so it's probably not possible.
- Rebooting my Xbox
I'm clueless and I bought this TV specifically for the 1080p format which doesn't seem to be supported now, even if it says so on the box.
Any thoughts? I'm lost. And don't worry about using geek language, I'm one myself and I just emptied out my stock of answers on this one... Requesting fellow geekiness help!
