Hi all
Ok, after weeks of searching I HAVE HAD ENOUGH - I cannot get 1080p on my 50in 1080p/24fps plasma.
I cannot believe that Sony have misled people with the "Full 1080 HD" badge and sold them a machine with Blu Ray without the capability to show their major technoloy in it's full glory....
I have three options -
Return the machine
Seek legal advise on the "implied" meaning of "Full 1080 HD" - to every I speak to in the industry it's 1080p, not 720p/1080i which is "HD Ready".
Thirdly - to install a capable graphics card - on this point, is it possible?
I love Sony and have spent 1000's on their products ( I currently have a number of Vaio's) but this does take the biscuit. For the first time Sony seems to have put "form over function"
If anyone feels the same then please post here - maybe we can Sony to look at this?
Hi achster1 and welcome.
This must be a nVidia driver issue.
What version of the nVidia Forceware Driver do you have installed? Have you tried any recent drivers?
Hi Blencogo,
Thanks for the reply - kinda hoping you would pop up - :smileygrin: so the saga continues.
BTW just updated the HDMI Audio fix for 1.3a equipped displays - this has rendered it more useless. As a point of digression DO NOT APPLY THIS UPDATE UNLESS YOUR NVIDIA DRIVER IS THE LAST ONE POSTED IN UPDATES SCREEN ON VAIO LINK (nVidia Video Driver 7.15.10.9813)- your system may well BLUE SCREEN. ALSO THE UPDATE HAS STOPPED WINDVD BD from working with recent DVD titles - namely Spiderman 3
This was the issue - I DID have the latest builds from Nvidia:
File Size: 68.7 MB
ForceWare Release 163
Version: 163.75
Release Date: 5.11.2007
Operating System: Windows Vista 32-bit
Language: English (International)
File Size: 56 MB
At this point on my Samsung PS50P96FD (1080p display) - nothing - the most I got is 1920x1080i @ 50mhz - the display was set to 1:1 pixel matching.
because of the HDMI update cock-up the Driver has had to be rolled back to:
nVidia Video Driver 7.15.10.9813
as per the sites instructions.....
Any help on the audio or video would be great.
Thankyou for the welcome. I have 3 Vaio's at the moment (2 laptops and this machine) Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks Blencogo

I know it advises you to roll back, but did you try running with the included 156.65 drivers? They did seem like resonable drivers to me - I am pretty sure they offered a 1080p option. I'm going to put them back on tonight...
You're right, even though the 156.65 driver does have a 1080p option, when you select it 1080i is output. I didn't bother messing with the Resolution utility though as I don't actually need 1080p.
