ps3 blu-ray quality problem - Blu-ray Forum

wintensity · 10-22-2007, 09:05 PM

hi everyone,

my ps3's blue ray image quality is basically the same as a regular DVD, do i not have a setting turned on or something?

ps3 games play perfectly clear and I'm using an hdmi connection, getting pretty mad ;((((

what movie are you watching?

tiger roach · 10-22-2007, 09:10 PM

Check the resolution setting and make sure it is the best your TV will support. Also check on your TV what resolution it is being fed from the PS3.

I was getting crappy resolution and it turned out to be a bad HDMI cable. Swapped in a good one and now it looks beautiful.

What sized tv do you have?

wintensity · 10-22-2007, 09:10 PM

i've tried final fantasy and the fifth element, both are about the same crappy quality

wintensity · 10-22-2007, 09:12 PM

i own a 27" olevia

What kind of cable are you using to hook the ps3 up to the tv?

EDIT: Sorry...you answered that *doh*

what is the model #, very few tv's in that size are HD.

When you set up the initial configuration did you check the maximum resolution for your displays. For example if you did not select 1080p or even 720p then you are probably outputting at 480 something.

27'' in hd?

are you sure they even make HDTv that size?....

your face would have to be in the screen to get playing with a game..

i had one that size..hate it...save up,try sell that thing for 100 or 200 dollers dirt cheap and you'l be happy you did,i am.

good luck!

Try using a Blu-Ray movie instead of a blue ray image

lch · 10-23-2007, 01:26 AM

so does you tv have hdcp ? else, ps3 will only output 480i picture.
27" so should be 720p, did you set ps3 to output in that resolution ?

I own a 32" Sharp Aquos that supports 1080p 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and I love my tv. In my opinion, that's the best bedroom size tv on the market today. I recommend you getting one. It's a bit pricey but financing is available
