I've got an issue with the aspect ratio of DVD playback from a PS3 to the component input of a Gateway FPD2185W monitor. Blu-ray discs play fine with no aspect ratio issues at all. However, the aspect ratio of DVDs is fixed to showing 5/8" black bars on the left and right of the screen for all types of DVD inputs. (ex. DVD movies with an aspect ratio of 1.85:1 are stretched vetically and movies with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 are stretched horizontally). These same movies, when played through the Gateway computer output using the DVI to the same monitor plays fine using MS Media Center 2005. Unfortuneatly there are no interal settings to change the aspect ratio on the monitor and I have tried all combinations of setting on the PS3 BD/DVD settings option. Any help here? - Jay
is the ps3 hooked up thru high definition cables? if so hook it up normally and that should solve the problem
