Picture question - Blu-ray Forum

Clapton101 · 06-08-2008, 02:01 PM

When i am playing games on my PS3 sometimes the scenes dont seem to transition very well, i have only played two games on it since i just got i tlast week, but they are Drakes Fortune, and Lego Star Wars. On Drake if you were looking left and right on it there is a line that is horizontal going up and down the screen when you look left and right. and in Lego Star Wars it kinda the same thing as you are moving through the game. Anybody seen this or know if it would be something wrong with my PS3? I only does it on games , it perfect when i play BD. And the line isnt like a black line persay. The only way i can describe it is it kinda looks like the lines you see on a computer screen when it is on TV but not constantly just as you move through the game.

Yeah, I know this.

I guess it´s called "tearing"

Quote:

Screen tearing is a phenomenon in video where a previously rendered frame overlaps a newly rendered frame, creating a torn look as two parts of an object (such as a wall) don't line up

You just have to live with it.

Yeah, this is normal even though it isn't ideal.

Some games have it worse than others...Lego star wars is a very good example!

Don't panic your t.v isn't dodgy!
