Like I said it’s only a small portion. When I connect it via HDMI I lose the outer edges of all my blueray movies as well as my photos. But not my SD videos. However when I connect with the AV MULTI (the cord that comes standard with the ps3 and ps2) I am able to view my entire photo, but I’m still losing my edges of my blueray. I am certain of this, although I only have one blueray player to test it.
I have a 37AV500U Toshiba TV It’s maximum resolution is 720p.
Technology: TFT active matrix
Display format: 720p
Widescreen Widescreen
Widescreen modes TheaterWide,
16:9
Color temperature control Yes
I got these specs here

I have the PS3 Model CECH 2501A and the downloadable manual located here
http://us.playstation.com/support/manuals/ps3/index.htm
This manual states on page 17 note 1
Copyright-protected Blu-ray video discs can only be output at 1080p using an HDMI cable connected to a device that is compatible with the HDCP (Highband-width
Digital Content Protection) standard.
So I’m guessing that means I cannot view the full picture on blueray with my 720p tv.
This is reasonable for the blueray, but why can I not view my photos. I feel like I’m losing some of my PS3 screen.
I have adjusted my TV in the following ways for every setting I changed in my ps3.
reset it to default settings
went through every picture size, natural, full, theater wide 1,2&3.
I have also tried to set up auto aspect ratio, again for each change in my ps3.
These are the settings I changed on my ps3 with HDMI
I selected the possible resolutions as
480p 4:3, 480p 16:9,720p, and 1080i.
the only one where I was able to view my photo fully with HDMI was 480p 4:3
obviously the picture sucked, but I could see everything.
So I’m wondering what the problem is here. The only thing I can think of is that in order to use HDMI with the ps3 fully I have to have 1080p resolution. This doesn’t make any sense to me, but if that is right I would like to know. Is that what this sounds like to you all?
I guess another question to ask is if it’s just my tv.
