hey all,

here is my scenario i have a sony 60" KDS-R60XBR1 rear projection LCD tv that displays a native resolution of 1080p, but does not accept a 1080p signal from a blu ray player. my question is is there anyway to make this tv accept a 1080p signal? if so what do i need to do to make this work?

i know they came out with this same tv 6 months after i bought mine which accepts a 1080p signal. so i know it can be done. if so what do i need to change and is it a difficult procedure?

thanks in advance

how are you connected... should be a HDMI connection to get the 1080p Reading your post again.... is the spec on YOUR model 1080p or just the next generation.... It may be a factory mod that you cannot do... IE a chip upgrade

This is from the Sony Tech page regarding your set... sorry bad news:

Does the television support a 1080p signal input from a connected video source?


The television display has a native resolution of 1080p. This means that any supported signal (480i, 480p, 720p or 1080i) that is input to the TV will be up-converted from its original resolution and displayed in 1080p.

None of the input jacks on the television have the capability of receiving a 1080p signal; trying to input a 1080p signal into the TV will result in a blank or distorted picture on the screen. If you are connecting a video device that is outputting a 1080p signal, the video device will need to be reconfigured to output at a different resolution, such as 480i, 480p, 720p or 1080i.

For many electronics used as an output device, such as a Blu-Ray® (BD) player or HD cable box, the conversion of the signal occurs automatically. However, for the PlayStation®3 console, there is a need to manually change the output setting on your device from 1080p to 1080i. While this manual change may appear to be changing the display resolution on your television, it is actually changing the output signal resolution of your device only and not the television display resolution, which is fixed at 1080p.

If there is an upgrade available they will know and will point you towards a repair center who could do the work for you... I think its a safe bet that this would not be a do it yourself job if there even is a fix..
Best of luck.
