Specifically, the PS3 doesn't reset its output resolution when unplugged, which means if you've been playing with it at your home on 1080p over HDMI and then bring it to your friend's house and try to connect it to a 480i TV, you simply won't get a picture as the console is still thinking it's talking to a fancy TV. You could go into the PS3's menus and set the resolution correctly, but only if you go back to a fancy TV where you can get an image out of the PS3 once again.
Though it is possible to avoid the issue by planning ahead and adjusting the PS3 before leaving its home display, it can be a tough thing to remember to do. As such, XCM has developed a handy tool called the E-Setter to make changing the PS3's resolution a rather simple process. The dongle plugs into the PS3 via USB and features buttons that can call up each of the PS3's various output resolutions. If you've got your PS3 plugged into a TV that can't display its output, a press of the buttons on the E-Setter will set it right whether or not you can see anything on the TV and without the hassle of navigating through all the menus.
The XCM E-Setter is priced at $29.99.

Actually this isnt needed, all one has to do is hold the power button down for about 10 seconds when powering up the PS3 and it resets its resolution to the output cord plugged in, then once thats done you can go and change to what resolution you desire.
