This is a bit of a complicated one. Basically, I have an LCD HDTV (Sharp Aquos LC-32D10) with a native resolution of 1366x768 and 'officially' supports 480p, 720p and 1080i over HDMI (as well as PC resolutions, of course). However, it does 'unofficially' support 1080p input - this is not automatically detected, but can be forced and correctly scales down to the native resolution of the TV. This obviously gives a noticeable resolution boost over 720p and 1080i. With the PS3, I could force 1080p and it would work perfectly fine.
Annoyingly, it seems this cannot be done with the PS4. The PS4 automatically detects supports for 480p, 720p and 1080i, but the 1080p option is greyed out with no way to force it like you could with the PS3. Extremely annoying. This TV appears to handle 1080i extremely well, but obviously I'd like to just use 1080p if possible,
Short of buying a new TV (I had to save pennies just to buy the PS4 itself), can anybody think of a workaround for this? Maybe some way to trick the PS4 into recognizing support for 1080p?
