Problem with my HDMI cable

I have gotten my ps3 to work on my tv, but for some reason it won't go HD even though i have HDMI cable in it, when i press that i want to use the HDMI output the screen just goes black

The best way to solve this issue is to turn off your TV and PS3 (unplug both from mains), connect HDMI cable to TV and PS3, turn on the TV (select HDMI as source) and than turn on PS3... PS3 should automatically detect HDMI as its only video output...

If not, maybe you just bought an old and chep cable? Be sure to use at least v1.3 cable. I'm using a v1.4 cable in order to connect my PS3 to Iiyama ProLite E2403EW PC monitor and have no such issues.

Tell me, are you getting this issue on start up or only when you try to watch a DVD?

I just have to ask the obvious first; are you sure your tv ìs HD?PetJel

Have you seen somewhere a TV with HDMI input that is not at least a HD-ready TV?

My old Samsung LCD (1366x768) can display 1080p through component cable and is not even a HD-ready TV :P

You have to have been mistaken or don't know about resolutions or trying to get away with a white lie....in the words of karl pilkington bu***hit man is needed PetJel

Yeah, sorry... my mistake. My TV can display 1080i :P

In any case - interlaced or progressive doesnt matter that much since PS3 can display both over HDMI. Moreover PS3 can automatically detect and choose between 1080i or 1080p. So be a smartass on te essensce of matter... otherwise you're just an ass ;)
