Blu-ray help? - Blu-ray Forum

apollo_79 · 06-30-2008, 04:26 AM

hello everyone. i'm new to the forums and had a question that i hope someone could help me with. i have my PS3 connected to a sony bravia model KDL-46V2500 with an HDMI cable. Games look awesome on it (i also have a xbox360 connected with component cables with also looks awesome) but when i watch a blu ray movie i have an issue. while in some instances the image quality is great there are some scenes (particularly in dark scenes) when the edge of the screen seems lighter that the rest of the image. this has only been a issue with movies because as i have said, games look fine. its kinda distracting. also sometimes the image seems to shake ever so slightly. not alot but if i look for it, on some movies i can find it. does anyone know whats causing these issues? is the HDMI cable bad, the PS3 not working properly, or is it an issue with the TV itself? any response would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your time.

sounds like light leakage from the backlight... Is it just on movies or is it anything that's dark?

i have only encountered it on movies.

try it out on games, watch the screen when a game is first starting to load and it flashes the Playstation 3 logo... let me know

when the PS3 logo flashes on screen, the whole image looks evenly black, no lighter spots or anything.

Have you calibrated your TV yet? It sounds like leakage. If that is the case, calibrating your set could reduce the effect that you are seeing.

Also, welcome to the forum!

Go through your BD setting on your PS3. Also, what movies did you try this with?

It does sound like a light leakage issue but that would effect everything, games and movies.
Make sure you calibrate the set.
If nothing here works, see if you can take a picture of the problem and post that, or try showing it to a tech support guy where you bought your TV.

i will try to take a picture of it and post it. Also, i don't mean to sound dumb but how do you calibrate the set.

Another way to check for backlight leakage would be to put it on say, your PS3 output and leave the PS3 off. That way the set is on with no signal, and you will probably notice some areas that are lighter. Very few LCD's have no backlight leakage.

As far as the judder, that could be the movie or it could be 3:2 pulldown depending on exactly what you're seeing.
