Yes, you can connect a PS3 to an HDTV by a component cable or an HDMI cable.
To get your PS3 to output in 720P you will need an HDMI cable and an HDTV. Connect your PS3 to the HDTV using the HDMI cable. After you connect the PS3 to the HDTV go to options and then output setting and choose to output in 720p.
In order for the PS3 to work best on a HDTV you need to have or purchase either an HDMI or a component AV cable and connect the PS3 to the HDTV. The PS3 will play on a HDTV when it is connected with the AV cable that was provided, but it will not be in HD
PS3 must be connected to a HDTV and the connection must not use the 480 I A/V cable that came with the PS3. It must be either HDMI or optional PS3 component cable and the PS3 must have the settings adjusted for the HDTV. To get full blue ray you need the 1080P HDTV
To connect the PS3 to a HDTV you need an HDMI cable if your HDTV has an HDMI connection, if it doesn't you need a PS3 component cable.
I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDTV and into the PS3. Then I went to the settings for both the HDTV and the PS3 slim and set them for HDMI and sync. When it works right putting a disc into the PS3 will turn on the HDTV and also switch the HDTV over to that HDMI input rather than a cable box or similar item even if it was on the cable box when you last used the HDTV.
You need to turn your HDTV to the HDMI input the PS3 was plugged into. The HDTV will only switch automatically when you turn your PS3 on after the HDMI system settings have been set up on both your PS3 and HDTV and only the slim PS3 have HDMI sync
It is very simple to connect the PS3 to the HDTV indicated. Purchase a HDMI cable for the connection of the PS3 and your HDTV. The back of the PS3 has a spot to Plug in the HDMI cable and the HDTV should have a few HDMI Inputs. Once connected and with the PS3 turned on and plugged in you may need to set the HDTV to the location that the HDMI cable has been plugged or it may already have the PS3 cross media bar. Go to your settings and set the video and HDMI to match your 3D TV. When set up right with the slim model PS3 the HDTV should turn on when both devices are off and you slide a game into your PS3. The HDTV should also switch to the PS3 whenever it is turned on by using the HDMI sync feature that you turned on under the settings menu. You may find that you also have to adjust the settings for your HDTV for this to occur.
Plug it into your TV with the cable that came with it or if you have a HDTV buy a HDMI cable and plug that into your HDTV and PS3.. Plug the power in and turn it on. You should see it on your TV screen and if not turn your TV to the same input you plugged the PS3 into. Owners of the 720P HDTVs or those without HDMI can buy PS3 component cables with 5 color coded connections that use RCA plugs for the HDTV inputs. Both the HDTV 1080p and 720 HDTV owners can connect with the A/V cable that came with the PS3, but then it will be standard 480i from your PS3
Yes the cable for the A/V connection that comes with a PS3 is for a standard TV. In order for your HDTV to get an HD connection from your PS3 you must purchase an optional A/V cable (HDMI or PS3 Component). The HDTV will still be able to provide you will a standard 480i picture using the A/V cables that come with the PS3 for your connection
If you have a HDTV and it is connected to the PS3 with the Sony A/V cable that came with the PS3 you are not getting HD. Replacing the A/V cable with a HDMI or PS3 component will allow the PS3 to greatly improve the picture quality and Blu-Ray disc movies will look better on the HDTV than any HDTV program ever did. The reason is because the HDTV TV Programs are only 720P and the Blu-Ray is 1080P
Any working HDTV will work with your PS3. The level of maximum quality will differ however depending on the quality of your TV. Also you will need to own an HDMI cable to output to your HDTV in HD.
