Most likely the problem you are having is that you have 1080P/24 set to automatic in the PS3. Turn off 1080P/24 since the Samsung only accepts 1080P/60. This should fix your problem.
There is a incompatibility issue with the Samsung and the PS3 with automatic 1080P/24 detection. When automatic 1080P/24 detection works correctly the PS3 will first try 1080P/24 first, if that does not work then the PS3 will switch to 1080P/60. For some reason you have to turn automatic off with Samsung displays since the PS3 is sending 1080P/24 to it and the Samsung is a 1080P/60 display.Standard DVD's and games are 60HZ and the PS3 is sending 60HZ for those, but the PS3 is trying to send 1080P/24 for BLU-RAY movies, and that is the problem.
