While there are many models of Sony Bravia HDTVs on the market, not all will support 1080P resolution. To view HD content you must have an HD source, such as an HD cable box and the source must be connected to the TV using an HDMI cable or component cables. The Sony Bravia will automatically display in 1080P when it receives a 1080P signal, but cannot be set to display 1080P on its own. Instead, you must configure your cable box or other device to output a 1080P signal.
