Hi guys, thanks for the advice, I returned the two hdmi-dvi cables and am waiting for the hdmi-hdmi cable to arrive in the mail from blue jeans. The cable lengths I was running were 8ft and 5ft, the connections to the tv are on the left side and my components are on the right. The new cable I purchased is 8ft.

I will give an update when my cable arrives sometime early this week.

Just a quick update.

I hooked up the PS3 (HDMI-DVI) through the 990 to my Sony 50A2000 (SXRD) last night and briefly watched the Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds Blu Ray.

At first, I checked off all of the video resolutions in the PS3 setup and set it to automatically adjust the output resolution. This resulted in the DVD playing at 1080i. Then I deselected everything except 1080p, which, as expected, resulted in 1080p output.

Not sure why this happened - perhaps the native format of the show was 1080i?? I'm not really sure and didn't have too much time to play with it - set it up at 1AM.

I'll report back if I find anything meaningful. But 1080P shouldn't have been a problem for your situation, I don't believe...

I received the hdmi-hdmi cable today and the issue is resolved. Thanks for the advice guys.

Since HDMI is 'supposed' to configure itself with what the end device says it can support, it looks like your TV does not report its specs properly. Or, the PS3 does not negotiate with your TV properly(doesn't check if device is 1080P capable). As far as I know, all BluRay Discs are native 1080P.

Not all. A few BDs are 1080i native, but it is a pretty small number. A couple of concerts shot on video, I believe.
