Is it my TV? - Blu-ray Forum

Hi everyone, just joined the forum, and I already need help

I posed this question in a Playstation forum I am a member of as well, no offense

Any help or suggestion is greatly welcomed.

Here is my problem. I have a PS3 that I use to watch Blu-Ray movies on. I am having a consistent problem that only occurs when I watch Blu-Ray movies, or play Blu-Ray games (But more noticeable in movies for some reason). What happens is, horizontal black stripes will appear during otherwise brightly-lit (Or even dark scenes that have, say a candle onscreen) scenes of movies, or in games. The stripes are always horizontal, and go from top to bottom on my screen. These stripes are very annoying but they do not appear when I watch regular DVD's on my PS3. The stripes happen the most when their is a horizontal panning movement, it seems.

I don't understand what is causing it, but I think it may be my TV. I have a Toshiba Flat-Tube 1080i HDTV. I am using my PS3 with an HDMI Cable. Anyone else having this problem?

And more importantly, why is this only happening during Blu-ray/HD material? Is my TV trying to tell me something? Should I try downgrading to component cables?
