Bird Bird Bird Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Hey guys, I've connected my PS3 to a monitor (via HDMI to DVI convertor). The thing is my monitor's native res. is 1600 x 900. But my PS3 doesn't render it. If I select Full HD, then my monitor keeps throwing a "Display mode not optimum" error hardprinted to the screen. But the image quality looks and feels good. But I can't stick with it because of the hard printed message. It doesn't show an error at 720p which is low for my monitor I guess. Isn't there a way to fix this (like the option to choose the res. like in xbox)? This isn't a major problem but certainly it would be better if I can get slightly higher res. anything equal to or above 1400 x 900. Nopes. You can't choose your own resolution on the PS3. Over HDMI, it only supports 1080p/i, 720p, 480p (or 576p in case of PAL systems like India). But then since PS3 games run at 720p, you aren't loosing out much unless the 720p resolution looks stretched on you screen. Try going through the manual if you can turn off the hard-printed error message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks fine (I've been gaming on that res. all this time and had no issues so far). But it's just that at 1080p, the elements (especially text) look more crisp (I haven't played games but, from xmb). I actually went through my monitor manual the first time it occured and managed to turn it off. But it turns out that it'll come up everytime the screen re-boots, meaning, when a game is launched, when it is quit (returning to the xmb, etc.). So, I have to turn the error message off every time like this and it's a major PITA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Bird Bird Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 ^^ Sucks. But I guess there's hardly anything one can do about it as there are no options on PS3 for using custom resolution apart from 1080 or 720. Get a new monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
