Grain is inherent to film, so it is not a negative. That being said have you tried turning down the sharpness on your display? If that is set at a high level it can add noise to an image. Also, you should turn off any noise reduction or mosquito noise settings that might be enable when watching blu-ray movies.

First, let us know exactly which movies you've noticed it with. This is very important info.

So maybe it's really like digital noise you are seeing and not grain? Like signal degradation?

It could be either the sharpness setting or a bad hdmi cable. Have you tried using another hdmi cable perhaps from the other tv? What if you connect the ps3 via component?
