LG BD370 won't hold 1080i: Has anyone seen this or found a way to resolve it?

Although I don't have a specific answer to this issue, I know that my TV will automatically select 720p over 1080i when I am using a Blu-Ray player or Xbox gaming system. 720p is actually a higher resolution image, because the picture is progressively scanned. Because my TV is only capable of a 1080i (interlaced) image, I cannot enjoy the full benefits of 1080p. The next best choice is then 720p, which is exactly what my system chooses to display by default.

I haven't seen that, I'm not sure why. Maybe due to the fact that many laptops nowadays have HDMI or DisplayPort. You could just get an adapter for your VGA or DVI, whichever you've got. Good chance you wont be able to get 1080 from it though. There are a lot of USB to HDMI external adapters, that might be the simplest solution for you.

Micheal Meyer is correct. Mine works fine at 1080P over VGA from the 360. Just got to get rid of the not supported message. See my reply to the post "X-Box 360 1080p doesnt work with this TV"

Yes. Had the same problem with the BD 390 and Netflix/YouTube. You need to dial the Resolution down to 1080i in order to get sound. I guess Netlix & YouTube don't support 1080p audio.Hope this helps!

I'm told that even if you have a video card that can change the resolution to 1080P that some TV's that have 720P resolution will not go higher because it just isn't able to because it cannot register that.

Oddly enough, I think the HD output is limited to 1080i thru component connections because of legal reasons, See this article http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/21/xbox-360-hd-dvd-playback-maximum-1080i-via-component-1080p-vga/ Evidentially using a VGA (computer monitor style) cable will send the full 1080p. I have the LNT4069FX, but have not connected it to my xbox.

I think the confusion lies in what the TV is capable of. The built-in TV tuner is only set at 720p, still HD but not *full* HD. The TV itself (monitor) is capable of 1080i. Meaning if you hook up an external HD source to it, such as a Blu-Ray player or video game system, you can view those displays as 1080i (not 1080p, but that's negligible). These specifications threw me off a little, too, when I read them so I reviewed the manual at Vizio's website. Hope this helps.

I first got the A3 108i model, which I liked very much, outputting to my (only) 1080i LG 37" TV. Recently, I got an open-box A35 from BB for $75! It looks actually quite a bit better, on the same TV! Here is my review of the LG TV (8000:1 contrast ratio, 5 ms speed, and XD picture enhancement). Even my SD Dish Satellite looks pretty darn good! You can follow that to my A3 review ($50-99 at places such as Newegg.com)--also up-converts, but not quite as well as the A35. http://www99.epinions.com/content_408499097220

Hello the only time I get a black screen is when I'm in a non HD channel. I tried to duplicate your problem, couldn't . I suggest you call LG support # is in your manuel

Wow, there are so many little things that could be causing the problem. First of all it would help if you knew if your TV was capable to 1080p, I kind of doubt it, but most certainly it'll have 1080i if it is an HDTV. If you have 720 that is also very good. Next you need to check your setup on your PS3 screen settings and make sure you have every single format that is compatible with your television checked, this can be very important. When I first got my TV I had an older model 50" rear-projection HDTV. But mine came out before HDMI so I was forced to hook up via 3 cable (or 5 if you count the audio) composite. My TV could only handle 480i, 480p, and 1080i. It made a big difference which PS3 game I happened to be playing. It is important to read the back of the box of your PS3 games to read what resolution(s) each particular game supports. My Madden 08 only supports 480p, 480i, 720p. Because of this, even though my TV could handle 1080i which is HD, it is not supported by the game. And since my TV could not operate in 720p, that was a no go. Therefore, Madden O8 on my PS3 only showed on my big HDTV in 480p which is not at all HD. But what could I do? Nothing. But a game like Warhawk supports 720p and 1080i so my TV totally rocked in the 1080 department with that particular game. I had the exact same problem with Resistance: fall of man; it only supports 720p. But again, check your PS3 screen settings b/c if you don't have a given resolution checked, the PS3 won't even attempt to project it.

I am not even sure why they have Full HD 1080i, you can't stretch 640x480 into HD and not loose quality. Videos look great on my computer though.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

No, HDMI cannot handle resolutions over 1080... You need either DVI or DisplayPort...

Go into Resolution Setup screen and check the 490i or 480P then go back to Display and the 480 format boxes will be darkened.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

Your BD30 should upgrade video signal through component connections to 1080i, if HDMI it would upscale to 1080p. Others Blu-ray players would have same problems as BD30. The one you have is the best in Blu-ray right now.
