Hi.
I got a 3.55cfw slim with a bit unusual video output connection: the console is connected to a HDMI switch. So I alternate output between a 2d-flatscreen and a 3d-projector, depending on the material.
Both the flatscreen and the projector are 720p in hardware, however, the flatscreen supports 1080i input while the projector can digest 1080p.
That's exactly the problem!
The only way to enable 3d support on 3.55 is using Automatic detection in HDMI settings. This detects the projector as 1080p and enables 3d features. If I answer no when it detects 1080p, it lowers the resolution and disables the 3d altogether. Step 2 (3d screen inches) just doesn't come at all.
Anyway, when I want to use the flatscreen, the PS3 continues to output 1080p which it can't display, and I get a blank screen. To use the flatscreen, I have to fire up the projector first, disable 1080p in Custom HDMI settings mode, and only then switch the output to the flatscreen, which is really frustrating. The other way is to reset video settings, which is even more time-consuming. Any of these procedures is beyond other users in my family skills or comprehension.
After disabling 1080p in custom mode, the 3d features are also gone. The only way to re-enable them is using Autodetect again, which switches output to 1080p, and I'm stuck in a dead circle here.
My question is: can I somehow disable 1080p while still having 3d features, or better yet, limit output to 720p and still have the 3d features on?
Perhaps one of the newer firmwares (4.xx) have a better way to control output?
My hardware is native 720p, so are 3d games by HDMI 1.4 specs, so why upscaling anyway.
