Help! most of my blu-ray titles look very grainy

The grain is in the source movie, it's not the tv set, the ps3, or the connections between them. Unfortunately there's little that can be done, except listen to the videophiles proclaim that studios have the duty to keep the image as close to the theatrical release as possible, therefore all the grain must stay.

Rocky Balboa was the worst movie I've seen for grain, most others are not bad. Check out Crank and you'll really see what blu-ray can do for a movie - though fair warning Crank's plot is not suited for everyone. Or Casino Royale was a fantastic picture without grain being a distraction. I haven't watched yet, but I hear Black Hawk Down is another with an absolutely fantastic picture.

Blu-ray has been out for not even a year, I fully expect the quality of encodings to improve a lot over the next few years.

btw, my tv is a Sammy HL-S5679W.
