Xbr 3 Vs Xbr 5

[School]

Hello eveyone and thanks for looking at my post.

Im starting this post to try to attain some information about some differences about these 2 TVs..

I have a XBR 3 46in in my bedroom and my parents have a XBR 5 40in in their bedroom.

The only difference between our hooks ups is that my tv and componets are hooked up to at denon 3808 any my patents tv is only hooked up to a cablebox and sony 550 bd player..

For some reason the picture quality on my tv is substatially better while watching bd movies, tv and playing video games.

Recently i hooked my ps3 up to the xbr 5 and noticed a great amout of lag while playing RockBand 2 and GHWT. On my xbr 3 i have my tv set to game mode so i figured i should put the xbr 5 on game mode. OMG what a difference the game plays smooth but the color was so horrible and dull looking i could not believe it. Why does the game mode differ so much between the 2 tvs? The xbr 3 game modes is perfect and has no color problems

The xbr 5 is supposed to be a upgrade from the xbr 3 but i dont see it.

As for the BD and Cable Difference the xbr 5 just seems to have a tearing look to it as if the image cannot pick up as well as my xbr 3 can.

Any suggestions on what can fix this problem?
