Can't get progressive scan to work?

Question

I have a Samsung SA01 Model HD TV, which seemed like a wonderful purchase when I bought it, since I was told that it has HD capability as well as Progressive scan capability. However, I'm trying to get the progressive scan mode on. However, every time I try to turn it on, the screen goes blank. Do I need the USB upgrade or something?

I found out by looking at the back of the tv that you need to hook up the component video in to the ps2, but each time I try that, the signal is black and white! Do I need a special converter?

Answer 1

I am not familiar with your TV, but TVs automatically detect the input and scale to their native resolution.
(So there is no need to set your PS2 to progressive output)

What progressive resolution do you try? 480p, 720p, or 1080p?

Perhaps your TV supports only 480p and 720p and NOT 1080p. Actually, for 1080p you will need an HDMI cable as well.

Set your PS2 at 720p and it should work just fine.
