It's personal preference really! I don't like LG cause I've always had issues with them! sad.gif
Bang for your buck lcd's. But I like Samsung cause the after service is good ( my friends work there thumbup.gif ).

i prefer LG than any other brands... why?
becoz according to my sister, at KOREA LG always become the first mover in LCD technology... and i feel that LG offer the optimum quality over the pricing..

but nowadays, seems like SONY get more advance technology... n its more popular in Malaysia....

i'm sure there should be component cable... which is enough for DVD playback...
you don't really need hdmi for DVDs... plus i believe your parents won't be so skeptical about the quality and such so...

Agreed! Better off spending a few hundred ringgits more and get something better! Or spend abit less and get a lcd monitor!

Use component cables for your DVD
And transfer the HDMI to your PS3, video quality is close between the 2

Hows the audio setup for your DVD player?

Hello to all pro here. Need your advice to my problem I encountered. I have Sharp Aquos LCD TV LC42A66M (confirmed full HD). I recently purchased PS3 Slim 250GB (SG). I set PS3 display output at 1080p. Intermittenly, my LCD TV screen would flicker together with loss of sound, blackout (but sound still on). This happens even on menu screen. This problem would not happen at 1080i setting.

I have tried the following HDMI cable:
1) Non-branded 1.8m HDMI Cable - (RM40)
2) Tinybee 1.8m High Speed HDMI Cable v1.3 - PS3 compatible (RM60)
3) Giraffe 2.0m HDMI Extreme AV (RM99)

I'm lost now, don't know which HDMI cable compatible with my LCD TV. rclxub.gif

Anyone could recommend compatible HDMI cable for my LCD TV? notworthy.gif

what is nice with AOC, this monitor can swivel. but lack of DVI if u want to connect to pc at the same time. xl2370 used LED tech.consume less energy i guess. i think the price is not your concern. so HP may ur best choice. my advice if u have oppurtunity to look these three monitor..go for it....choose the monitor which satisfied ur eyes.

this is just my poor opinion laugh.gif

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm doing that right now. But kind of wasted the hardware capability. Anyway, will continue to search the right HDMI cable by try and error.

sorry for a noob question. icon_question.gif

may i know anyone have the website link to help to adjust the best colour/brightness setting of Samsung LCD TV LA32B550K (Full HD)?

Currently i use the default/ standard colour + brightness setting from the LCD TV itself, still i think the pic display can be better. Now some games like GOW3, Uncharted 2 and etc no doubt are come with spectacular graphic, yet my TV displays it like a bit darker background, or colour not so vivid/ natural...

i know i can set the colour/ brightness manually by my own, but just wanna ask got any online guide to set it more prefect?

Any suggestion is very much appreciated. Thanks! notworthy.gif

Setting up is with non branded HDMI cable... + optical cable to a Yamaha Receiver with 5.1
1080P all the way... depending on games res... it'll auto down or return scale either to 720p or 1080p...
only downside is upon starting up d Aquos takes a bit of time to SYNC with my PS3 120GB so will miss d PS3 starting up logo... no biggie
(if d TV is already set to 1080p with other devices then upon starting up d PS3 then will be able to see d logo..)

Thanks for your reply. notworthy.gif

I guess I have to tried whatever non-branded HDMI I could find to test out, rather than buying expensive cable. sweat.gif

Yeah, I agreed with you. Aquos LCD really shows very good picture quality from PS3, both in colour tone and contrast.

Unfortunately, my flickering/disconnection issue not yet settled. rclxub.gif

However, I'm certain both my LCD TV and newly purchased PS3 slim are not faulty. This is because I able to output at 1080p from my previous Xbox 360. Also, while purchasing the PS3 slim, I did test at 1080p as well at game shop LCD TV and the display was perfect. hmm.gif

I just need to find the right HDMI cable right now.

Thanks for your advice. thumbup.gif

Thanks for your suggestion. I'm doing that right now. But kind of wasted the hardware capability. Anyway, will continue to search the right HDMI cable by try and error.

Don't think it has anything to do with cables. Do a search on PS3 with Sharp TV and u'll find out a lot of information. I did the same earlier, (Swapped various cables to get this to work) but still the same. Ended up setting it at 1080i. No worries, i don't think ur eyes will be sensitive enough to notice the difference anyway.. tongue.gif

PS: Lots of ppl (i googled) tested and found out that Port 4 usually works well. Did u try that? Not sure why this is happening at all.. maybe some Si fu here can enlighten us a bit on this? I have no problems running for other things (my pc runs perfectly fine and tested dedicated bluray players) no problem too. Just with PS3 setting at 1080p.

By the way, during flickering, do u hear any static noise or "chiak chiak" sound coming out from your TV?

Here's some solution that I found back then, maybe u wanna try it out? lol..

Good luck!

3.5k can get you a lot of decent lcd tv's now! Samsung, Sharp or even Sony.
Samsung in Sunway Pyramid was selling a 40inch series 6 for around that price. Ignore price tag just ask sales person. Might be cheaper at Low Yat or
Legend in SS2.

Hello to all pro here. Need your advice to my problem I encountered. I have Sharp Aquos LCD TV LC42A66M (confirmed full HD). I recently purchased PS3 Slim 250GB (SG). I set PS3 display output at 1080p. Intermittenly, my LCD TV screen would flicker together with loss of sound, blackout (but sound still on). This happens even on menu screen. This problem would not happen at 1080i setting.

I have tried the following HDMI cable:
1) Non-branded 1.8m HDMI Cable - (RM40)
2) Tinybee 1.8m High Speed HDMI Cable v1.3 - PS3 compatible (RM60)
3) Giraffe 2.0m HDMI Extreme AV (RM99)

I'm lost now, don't know which HDMI cable compatible with my LCD TV. 

Anyone could recommend compatible HDMI cable for my LCD TV?
*
I have a Sharp LC37A65M and using Belkin HDMI cables. Works great. A cheap HDMI cable has blinking dots @ 1080p 60Hz. If I drop it to 1080p 24Hz it's ok. I use that cable for the WDTV live.

edit: wrong quote. ehehe.

i think its the ps3 slim problem... i read on another forum that the HDMI component in ps3 slim is of lower and cheaper quality hence this problem.. another factor could be because the ps3 slim has no grounding (power only 2 pin) could this be affecting the HDMI output?

i have a LG 42" LCD which worked great at full hd using some cheap HDMI cable running on my old phat ps3...

once i got the slim, i can't use the same cable, it shows some weird display on the screen at full hd, other resolution no problem.

so i tested with a monster cable, can see but i get white dots all over the screen like snowing...

my lg comes with 3 hdmi ports and i found that the 3rd port the effect is less but still there... so now no choice but to run at 1080i...

but then again i test on my friend's full hd (philip), no problem what so ever.. so i think it depends on what TV ur using?

anyway seems to me the only solution is to either get a new TV (preferably sony) or get a PS3 component cable...

Thanks to all who helped and made suggestion to my 1080p flickering issue on PS3 Slim with Aquos A66M LCD. Will try out your suggestions. BTW, I have tried all 3 ports on my LCD TV, still same problem.

Really appreciate your assistance.

3D TV? I'm still sticking to LCD monitor and LCD TV. Couldn't step on the LED steps yet. Too pricey at the moment. Honestly, I wouldn't even be thinking of getting a 3D TV very soon. It's not just feasible for me yet. Maybe there's people that can afford it though.

I bought mine from ALL IT Hypermarket Sdn. Bhd. last time. Ever since I took it out from the packaging until today, no problem or whatsoever. I'm satisfy with the product. I have two Belkin HDMI cables (I have one which is about one year plus and another one is a few months old) and both are working perfectly. No complaint or whatsoever so far.

Modern Plasmas don't suffer from burn-in more than your typical LCD does nowadays. However some of the might be more susceptible to image retention (IR) but it's not really a big problem. Just need to leave it off for a certain period of time or let it run a move/animation to let the IR run off.

Anyway, if anyone plans to get a Panasonic plasma, if you don't know already, the black levels will rise to LCD levels after 400-1500 hours. So be warned.

The users on AVSForums have been complaining about it for quite a while already. Even the latest G11/V11 models tend to suffer from it since it's sort of a feature in Panasonic Plasmas.

Yes I did. My GC does not have a VGA port. Thats why have to buy the VGA-DVI converter. The difference is really big. My monitor's optimum resolution is 1600X1050 and when I use the DVI cable, the pictures are really sharp, crystal and full screen. When I use VGA cable, if I use 1600X1050, its not full screen and the image sucks. You can see the font and the icon all have the blur effect on them. Any idea?

I don't have any problem with Samsung products. My Samsung T240 FullHD 24" LCD monitor has been more than a year and works perfectly fine. No dead pixel, no distortions or whatsoever dysfunctional. Same goes to my Samsung 40" LA40B550 LCD TV.

From the day it was taken out from the box and I've been using it on a daily basis. Till date my frequency of usage per day:

Minimum usage per day: 3 hours
Maximum usage per day: 10++ hours straight

It didn't let me down one bit.

Regards, Joey

Bought a Belkin HDMI Cable from All IT last night for RM59 and to my dismay it didn't work on my Sharp a66 sad.gif

When I plugged it in on 1080p there are white dots running all over the place and sound skips. Tried it on all my HDMI ports with the same results.

However the one I purchased is a 2008 model with a short head (about 1 inch) in a plastic packaging. I notice there was another 2007 model with a longer head (about 2 inch) that came in a black paper box packaging.

Which one you guys are using?

I use the VGA cable that came as a bundle with my monitor. You think its the cable problem?
Yes I did. My GC does not have a VGA port. Thats why have to buy the VGA-DVI converter. The difference is really big. My monitor's optimum resolution is 1600X1050 and when I use the DVI cable, the pictures are really sharp, crystal and full screen. When I use VGA cable, if I use 1600X1050, its not full screen and the image sucks. You can see the font and the icon all have the blur effect on them. Any idea?

Try adjusting your refresh rate. Some monitors are finicky when it comes to VGA refresh rates. Make sure your resolution is native as well.

If changing cables do not work, I would suspect its a problem with either the PS3's HDMI port or your monitor's.

what display card u use?. u might need to change the resolution in the control panel. when u said the the display is not full screen, i suspect it cause by improper setting due to wrong scaling option.

My graphic card is 8800GT. After I reinstall the monitor driver, the native resolution appear and it now seems like better than before. However, when I switch to PS3, the monitor keep saying that the resolution is not optimum. How to tell PS3 to use the optimum resolution of 1680X1050?

Which would mean that nothing is wrong with the cables but your display then, since your Sony LCD TV does not experience the problem.

Yes refresh rate. Try setting it to the highest supported for your monitor. DVI/HDMI connections are always @ 60Hz but VGA can go above that, make sure your resolution is @ native too, as non-native resolutions will cause blurriness.

The PS3 can only output, 480P (720x480), 720P (1280x720) and (1920x1080) which is 1080P. It is standard for HDMI connections, you cannot change it. Some displays have the option to not scale the image (1:1) if your display does not have this feature then you're in for some blurred IQ then.

If I use 720P, will it affect the image quality? Frankly speaking the image that I get from playing Dante's Inferno is quite good although its not something to shout about. Maybe i will have to play game with glorious graphic to check it out.

By the way, I am using the auto thing to set the display setting.

no worries, in fact there's an argument going on mentioned that output in 720p will serve better quality..
and most the ps3 games work best at 720p...

Since your display does not output 16:9 resolutions, it doesn't matter which resolution you set it at. All of them will be scaled full screen according to your display's native resolution and cause some slight to major blur depending on your display's scaler quality.

But normally it does not affect the IQ much, only thing it affects is the Aspect Ratio, characters will get taller and skinnier than intended and so on.

It's better if you set it at 720P. Not a lot of games support native 1080P output out of the box, it's usually sub-720P (Star Ocean 4 which isn't even HD resolution), and 720P.

For 1080P, your PS3 scales the image first then if your display cannot output 1080P, it'll scale it according to it's native resolution, so you lose more IQ there.

Til date, there's only one 1080P game I can think of and that is Gran Turismo 5, but there's a catch, @ 720P, there's 2xAA but @ 1080P there's 0xAA.

Wouldn't it be better if you just stick to one brand only? Find the best that can serve you in the long run and stick to it like there's no tomorrow. Maybe I'm more of a "standardised" person or maybe it's just my personal preference.

Regards, Joey

p.s: Find one that is most suitable for your hardware compatibility and stick to it. You can sell the unused HDMI cables to others if you want.

So you're using the Sony display with your PS3 now?

Usually these problems are mostly problems with the console's HDMI or display's HDMI port before cable. As long as you get decent cables around RM35-RM50 regardless of brand since all HDMI cables come from a select few factories in China only. You can trace it via the code on the wire, but if it's braided/shielded then you'll need to look under it.

You don't need to worry about signal degration on short HDMI cables like the ones most of us are using (< 2 meters) but for industry or if you're planning to do a home theater room which needs you to pull the HDMI cable long distances (50 - 100 meters), then you'll need to get a signal booster + better AWG cables.

Your PS3 will have two ports. One - HDMI , Two - Playstation Proprietory A/V port.

Your video will come from the HDMI port. Now your PS3 comes with the A/V composite cable right? Yellow,Red and White. So if your speaker's input has the Red and White female jacks then your problem is solved. Just plug those two in.

But if your speaker comes with the Green 2.5mm jack then you'll need the Y-Splitter to convert the two Red and White jacks into one Green jack.

I understand your frustration. I also have the same problem with Sharp LCD A66. I had purchased 5 HDMI cables! cry.gif I'm thinking to sell all my HDMI cables at garage sales. Anyone interested? brows.gif

The last cable I purchased is Sony Official High Speed HDMI v1.3a cable at RM199. This cable is most stable but still occassionally flicker or disconnected (blackout).

Conclusion, PS3 Slim is not compatible with Sharp LCD A66 at 1080p. Set at 720p. Almost all games are running at 720p currently. I have tried out MGS4 at 720p and it looks good and similar to my eyes in comparison to 1080p. rolleyes.gif So, don't waste money try any other cables.

You have to check whether or not your LCD monitor is HDCP compliant. If your LCD monitor is not HDCP compliant then you will need to get another LCD monitor or LCD TV which is HDCP compliant.

I understand your frustration. I also have the same problem with Sharp LCD A66. I had purchased 5 HDMI cables!  cry.gif  I'm thinking to sell all my HDMI cables at garage sales. Anyone interested?  brows.gif

The last cable I purchased is Sony Official High Speed HDMI v1.3a cable at RM199. This cable is most stable but still occassionally flicker or disconnected (blackout).

Conclusion, PS3 Slim is not compatible with Sharp LCD A66 at 1080p. Set at 720p. Almost all games are running at 720p currently. I have tried out MGS4 at 720p and it looks good and similar to my eyes in comparison to 1080p.    rolleyes.gif  So, don't waste money try any other cables.

In a sad way good to hear I am not facing this problem alone! I am also starting to conclude that Sharp a66 is not compatible with PS3 on 1080p. Will try to get my hands on my cousin's phat version to test and see if the phat version has the same problems.

I just change my display setting to 720p and frankly speaking, i cant spot the difference BUT my monitor still show the message that I am not optimizing the resoution of 1680 X 1050. Why is this so? I dont know whether it will cause issues in the long run or not and its pretty irritating. Can someone help?

You are indeed very lucky. May I know what settings you use on your TV? Such as Game/PC mode in AV, Full Screen/Dot By Dot, HDMI Auto View On/Off, etc. and which HDMI port are you using? What is the HDMI cable brand/model you are using now? I would really appreciate if you could share your knowledge.

Check your Plasma display's manual/spec sheet as to whether the DVI port comes with HDCP or not. If not, then you'll need to get a Component cable for your PS3 to display on your plasma display.

If you don't have this then you won't be able to output from HDMI. PS3 requires a HDCP compliant display. If your Plasma does not have this (which is highly possible given that you said your panel is very old), then you won't be able to use the HDMI port for your plasma. Get the component cables instead to play 720/1080P.

Whatever you buy, make sure it has refresh rate of >100hz. Less than that, some action intensive part of games will look annoyingly choppy.

That is not true. If Title A has slowdowns on a console, having a display that has 120/240Hz refresh will not help at all.

These 120/240Hz refresh rate is targeted at Blu-Ray movies rather than console games due to the fact that the latest Blu-Ray movies are all encoded @ 24fps. Games on the other hand do not sync with the 120/240Hz displays thus there is no effect at all.

In fact, if you had a video which is not divisible by 24/30/60/120/240 then you'll likely be experiencing Judder as well. (This happens when your video's FPS isn't the same as your panel's refresh rate. Thus, for a natural smooth panning movement, you'll have to make sure your video's FPS, let's say 60 has to be the same as your panel's refresh rate, which is also 60Hz.)

And also, some people experience a so-called 'Soap Opera' effect when they had these refresh rate booster features enabled.

QUOTE
Most film is recorded at 24 frames per second, but your LCD TV probably either displays at 60 fps or 120 hz (hertz is just a measurement of frequency per second). There are three main ways to cope with this.

First is to simply display each frame longer, this is the oldest technique in LCD tech. However, its undesirable side effects include the possibility of motion blur, or of judder. Judder is an artifact of adjusting the framerate and it looks like a sort of stutter in movement that would otherwise be smooth (a slow pan, for instance).

The second technique is one used on Plasmas and CRT TVs. Instead of showing a bright image the whole time, they display the frame, then a short frame of either darkness or a very dimmed picture. This alleviates much of the issue with judder and motion blur as it allows your brain to fill in the gap faster than you can consciously notice. It is also an old technique, and is used in theaters. It provides the traditional cinema feel.

The most recent and advanced technique is motion interpolation. Motion interpolation is a process by which your TV analyzes the current frame, and the next frame, then creates an average. It inserts these averaged frames in between. The result is extremely smooth motion with no motion blur and judder becomes almost non-existent. There are a few technical issues with this, including the possibility of ghosting or artifacts in rare cases. Also the smooth movement this creates is slightly disconcerting.

EDIT : Case in point, these features are just 'bonus' features to the display itself. It's the marketing people that exaggerates them by a whole hundred miles. Though for me, I would rather have a display that has a 24Hz refresh option for Blu-Ray movies instead of these 120/240Hz options.

Im not so sure about that, I personally have a Acer H233H which is locked to 60hz. Playing games like GT5 P, exhibits some flicker of vertical lines but the Sony Bravia I have in showroom, doesnt do this.. It the same thing when I used to play games on the PC without turning on the Vsync option esp when the FPS > 60. What does that mean?

100Hz and above are actually not more than clever, and in some cases, remotely useful gimmicks.

It does have its functions, and it usually carries it out quite well.

Playing games is actually worse with 100Hz and all that turned on.

When the TV is processing the frame, you get input lag, and you might notice a slight delay in movement onscreen and the input of commands.

Also, the TV is adding frames, which might cause some artifacts to appear.

For games, it is better to turn off all forms of processing (Noise reduction, black level enhancement, motionflow, etc.) altogether to try and reduce input lag as much as possible.

I won't disagree with what the article says, as Motionflow does make it look 'smoother'.

But as the article said, the TV has to analyse the 2 frames to get the frame in between and that process takes time, which introduces input lag.

It is a bit difficult to explain without going in depth, but Motionflow seems to be a pretty useless feature (although it does seem pretty decent on some animated films, or TV shows)

These vertical lines you speak of is an example of Tearing. Meaning your game's FPS is running higher/lower than the panel's refresh rate. To solve this situation, VSync has to be turned on.

QUOTE
Screen tearing is a visual artifact in video where information from two or more different frames is shown in a display device in a single screen draw.

The artifact occurs when the video feed sent to the device isn't in sync with the display's refresh, be it due to non-matching refresh rates, or simply lack of sync between the two. During video motion, screen tearing creates a torn look as edges of objects (such as a wall or a tree) fail to line up.

I do give credit to motionflow technology being able to make films look smoother and the like, however I still rest my case that it still doesn't do anything much to games, especially on consoles due to different titles on different machines having different framerates. Some have uncapped FPS, some are VSync-ed, some have slowdowns which motionflow can't even fix because it's due to the hardware being choked thus sloppy FPS.

Motionflow is mainly targeted for Blu-Ray movies to make motion smoother, but some people are not used to it thus they call it the 'Soap Opera' effect which was pointed out in my previous post.

But some models from manufacturers have poorly implemented motionflow technologies and some panels will exhibit artifacts and the like as gnsumas pointed out. Which is why I said when it comes to Blu-Ray movies, a 24Hz refresh rate panel is still the best as it is 1:1 sync-ed to the FPS of the video itself.

Hmm youre maybe right, but where can u get a 1:1 24hz refresh rate panel??? Moreover, ps3 games are > 30 FPS. Does that mean alot of screen tearing?

Here is an old list of LCD TVs that support 1080p24, I can't find a newer list. But if you're looking for one, look at the manual or something that talks about 24Hz or the manufacturer's website.

1080p24 panels

Not all PS3 games have the same FPS, in fact there are a lot of titles that experience tearing, I would think majority of PS3 games exhibit screen tearing, X360 games as well due to unstable framerates.

Head over to http://www.lensoftruth.com, and look at their Head2Head articles to see which games experience screen tearing and which ones don't.

EDIT : Here's an even longer list of displays that support 1080p24 and also 5:5 pulldown without motion enhancers on.

Displays that support 1080p/24 signal at multiplies of the original frame rate

My arguement is this:

If you use a 24hz only LCD. Wouldnt you get a more pronounced screen tearing issue coz, PS3 games > 30 FPS > 24Hz?

Screen tearing in gaming terms usually means that the TV/display refresh rate cannot handle the higher output of the video card.

The list of the multiplied LCD TV you gave, with 5:5 pulldown or 24hz/p compatible, they are >100hz TVs isnt it?

Would you not agree then, In order to get the best experience of both worlds (games/movies), a >100hz TV is cool?

I specifically said that I would rather have a 24Hz display for Blu-Ray movies. I did not said that I would use them for gaming.

If you have read the link, I would assume you would already know about there are two type of panels that are >100Hz. One that displays true multiples of 24 via 5:5 pulldown. And another that adds motion interpolation (motionflow) to the image.

Some of them are 120/240Hz and some of them display it natively 1920x1080 @ 24Hz.

EDIT : So in the end, to get the best out of Blu-Ray and the now defunct HD-DVD movies, you would be better off with a panel that displays 1080p24 or make sure your display is outputting @ a true multiple of 24, which in this case is 120Hz via 5:5 without motionflow features.

As for gaming, screen tearing will only be solved via VSync, if Title A on the PS3 does not have VSync turned on, therefore tearing will occur whether or not your panel is >100Hz or 50/60Hz, which brings me back to my original post stating that neither motionflow nor >100Hz refresh rate will do much difference to games.

If you read my recommendation post, I did not say anything about motionflow did i?

As for gamin, correct...screen tearing will occur but it will be more PRONOUNCED in a TV thats < 100hz. It will be even more WORSE with a 24hz~50hz TV.Do you not Agree?

Your original post could mean either >100Hz with motionflow or without motionflow. In regards to these panels, some will only output >100Hz with motionflow (or rather frame/motion interpolation) while some will output >100Hz without motionflow provided you turn something off.

As to whether screen tearing will be more pronounced or not, that depends on how much of a difference between your game's FPS and the display's refresh rate.

Let's say Title A's FPS is 30 FPS. Your display is currently set to output @ 1920x1080 24Hz. If you had it VSync-ed, your game will run at 24FPS. Thus tearing will not occur. However if the game is not VSync-ed tearing will occur however it might or might not be that noticeable due to the fact that 24 and 30 is only 6 digits away.

If your game is running at 30 FPS while your display is set to 120Hz, the difference itself is already huge, so tell me which will be more prominent in regards to tearing then sir?

For consoles, tearing most of the time is unavoidable since the FPS is all over the place for different titles.

For PC Gaming however, if your GPU can manage to push out >100FPS for every title, then by all means, get a >100Hz panel and VSync it (Important). If your GPU cannot push out such framerates, do you not agree then a standard 60Hz display is better then?

I'm not sure which ones will force motionflow to be ON all the time. That wasnt the emphasis of my recommendation.

As I've said, screen tearing will be more pronounced when the video output of the PC/PS3 exceeds the refresh of the TV

In your example, a 120hz TV is capable of supporting frames until 120FPS. Whats a measly 30-70FPS to it then sir?

Yes, your recommendation states that one has to get a panel that supports a refresh rate higher than 100Hz to avoid choppy scenes, which is not true.

These choppy scenes in games are influenced by the hardware (in this case PS3) not being able to output sufficient frames during intensive scenes, which in this case we call it lag/stutter.

Refresh rate of the monitor does not influence the smoothness during gaming. Refresh rate will only play a part to avoid screen tearing if VSync is in play. Thus these are two different topics.

In regards to whether 60Hz or 120Hz is better to avoid screen tearing, for the PC, generally a 60Hz panel will be sufficient, provided your GPU is able to output more than 60FPS for every title, therefore you can VSync to avoid tearing. If you are confident your display can output more than 120Hz for every title, then by all means get a panel that supports 120Hz refresh rate and VSync it to avoid tearing.

If you do not wish to VSync your PC Games and your GPU is able to output >60FPS but <120FPS then get a 120Hz panel then, however there are some games that if are left running at uncapped FPS and it's >70FPS~ then you might experience fast forward/turbo mode glitch for those titles.

For the console, it does not matter whether your display is 60Hz or 120Hz, since most console titles can't reach 60FPS constant in the first place (other than Dante's Inferno).

(For this I apologise for not stating earlier that 24Hz is only supported for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD movies only AFAIK. When it comes to the PS3 and other consoles, during gaming, they will not output @ 24Hz, but rather 60Hz or 50Hz depending on the region of the game itself)

So in this case, if a game is 30FPS constant and the panel is 24Hz, (albeit impossible during gaming), yes tearing will occur. However, if you remember that tearing does not occur only when the FPS is > than the Refresh Rate of the display only. It occurs because the FPS does not sync with the Refresh Rate of the monitor.

Thus regardless of whether you get a 60Hz or 120Hz panel for your PS3, tearing will still occur due to the fact that PS3 titles do not have a constant FPS output.

ATM, I don't think there are any TVs that are only 24fps.

Most of them have normal refresh rates, but switch to 24fps when a 24fps signal is fed into it.

My TV has 100Hz, but also supports 24fps viewing.

Screen tearing and frame drops would actually be more pronounced on a TV with a interpolation.

'Motionflow' (or whatever else it is called) does nothing but add frames between whatever is being fed by the signal, so if the 2 frames it samples are torn, the frame it adds will also be torn, essentially giving you more torn frames.

Sony's implementation of this is one of the better ones though, and I don't see Bravias introducing much artifacting, so kudos to Sony for that rclxms.gif

Of course I said >100hz, coz I experienced slight flickering even with my 60hz LCD. Okaay, maybe choppy wasn't an accurate word for screen tearing coz thats what it looks like firsthand to me.

As I came from a PC gaming scene first and I can first hand tell you that even for PCs, the framerate is also never constant so its not what causes screen tearing. You can test this with old games like Quake 3 or benchmark utilities.

The screen tearing problem occurs when the FPS output exceeds the LCD framerate which is why I turn on the V-Sync or limit the FPS output to less than that of the monitor's. You'll never get screen tearing problem with framerates below the monitors refreshrate. When it dips down to sub 28FPS, you'll get lagging.

Yes for PCs Tearing is the result of the FPS being higher than the Panel's RR. However for consoles this is not the case. Explain then why is there tearing @ sub 60 FPS with a 60Hz display then? It's because it's out of sync with the display's RR.

Somehow, tearing on console games are an example that you can get tearing on a 60Hz display but yet the game's FPS is way below that.

Bottom line is, if you want no tearing = VSync, it doesn't matter whether you have a 60Hz or 120Hz or 480Hz plasma display. Console Games are hardly VSync-ed.

If PS3 is not v-synced as you said it yourself, there is also no telling if it sometimes exceed the 60FPS mark hence screen-tearing. In addition PS3 RSX is based off a NVidia 7800 series which is available for PC as well??

Lensoftruth doesnt explain how they get those torn frames but are they refering to screen tearing as we are discussing?. What I'd guess is that there is a glitch in rendering department where sometimes 1 of the frame gets rendered faster than 1/60 of a second.

Perhaps my Acer LCD isnt QCed properly tongue.gif

The RSX is indeed based off the architecture of the nVidia 7800GTX albeit there are some differences.

Yes, LoT is referring to the exact same tearing we are discussing about. Most PS3 games do not even manage to get 60FPS constant, hence why game developers did not implement VSync into the game.

The tearing that most people experience in PS3 games is due to the uncapped FPS. Tearing does not necessarily mean your FPS has to be more than the RR of the display like I said before, even though on the PC, tearing seems to only happen when the FPS exceeds the RR of the display. However, on the PS3, this is not the case, even on the 360 even, it's games are hardly ever rendered at 60FPS or above, to game developers on consoles, as long as they manage 30FPS, it's smooth to them.

IINM, screen tearing on consoles happens when the 2nd frame in the buffer isn't processed completely and only a part of the entire frame appears on screen, leaving a part of the previous frame visible.

I might be mistaken, though.

Google that model and read all the reviews about it bro, thats how I'd do it b4 buying. If I'm not mistaken the Acer H233H is the best bang for the buck in a somewhat similar budget.

That article is only relevant in some cases.

That kind of tearing happens when the display is slower than the signal.

For console gaming, however, its usually a case of the console itself not being v-locked, which is why tearing can be spotted by Digital Foundry and Lens of Truth, who record from the source directly, removing displays from the cause altogether.

If you don't have this then you won't be able to output from HDMI. PS3 requires a HDCP compliant display. If your Plasma does not have this (which is highly possible given that you said your panel is very old), then you won't be able to use the HDMI port for your plasma. Get the component cables instead to play 720/1080P.

Hi Guise,

I bought a new AOC Full HD LCD monitor 24". Model:AOC 2436VM

Anyone using the same LCD? Is this compatible with PS3?

Thanks

So far the best LCD monitor i seen for gaming and superb good for ps3 is Alienware Optx AW2210 or AW2310

Both supports HDMI and have two - three HDMI

Supports Audio in and out

VGA

DVI cable

HDCP

Also supports change input button.... PS3 = HDMI , PC=DVI, TV=HDMI so you can switch them... so far i think is good

Component is your only option. PS3 does not output via VGA. Using a VGA box will only make the IQ worse. Still, whatever you choose, always favor Progressive over Interlace for LCDs and Plasmas. These two panels do not display Interlaced images from the start, they display Progressive images, thus it's a better idea to set it to 720P or 1080P if available.

What is your Plasma's native resolution? If it's quite old I would guess around 1024x768 isn't it?

AW2210 is the only one that has 2 HDMI and 1 DVI port. AW2310 does not have 2 HDMI ports, only 1. And rather than getting the AW2310, why not get the U2410 which has 1 HDMI and 2 DVI ports and even better is that it's not a TN panel but a *IPS panel instead, which offers better viewing angles and colour reproduction than the Alienware displays.

Read the manual. Press and hold the power button until 2 beeps then it will reset to standard video mode. Change the video settings to HDMI and voila!

Cheap because :
1) It's a TN panel.
2) It's not using RGB LED lighting but White LED lighting which is inferior.
3) It's not LED Backlighting but Edge-lighting which will suffer from un-uniform illumination.

My monitor is a Acer G205H
I'm wondering if it's possible to use it for PS3.
By using the DVI-HDMI plug(I have the HDMI cable), is it possible to plug-and-play? Or there's a setup before being able to use it?

Very common question. It's posted in the PS3 FAQ Sticky Post #3.

Anyway, depending on your speakers input, you might or might not need an adapter.

1) Take the A/V Cable supplied with your PS3, use the Red and White for Audio. If your speaker accepts Red and White input then you're good to go, however if your speaker supports the 3.5mm Green Stereo Jack instead, then you'll need to get an adapter that'll convert the Red and White to Green 3.5mm Jack.

2) If your speakers support Optical IN, then you can use the PS3's Optical Output to get Audio as well.

EDIT: PS3 does not support USB Speakers. Only Mics AFAIK.

And also if you want your monitor to output sound, make sure it's HDMI to HDMI and not HDMI to DVI, DVI does not carry sound data only video data. So if your monitor has speakers, you'll need to follow Method 1 with the adapter.

Yes, my speakers are using the 3.5mm green stereo jack and powered by USB, is there any way to make use of the speakers instead?
So it's impossible to connect a HDMI cable from the PS3 to the monitor then(using the DVI-HDMI adapter)?
The only solution is to stick with the A/V cable?
Is it possible to plug in both HDMI cable(for display) and A/V cable(for sound) to the PS3?
Thanks for the help anyway! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Yes you can use both cables to get video and audio.

You can use the HDMI to DVI cable to get Video. Then use Method 1 to get Audio to your speakers.

Since your speakers are getting audio data from the Green Jack instead of USB then it'll be fine, since it's only powered by USB not driven by USB as well. There are speakers which are solely powered and gets audio data from USB only. But in your case it's different.

For PS3 gaming precisely. Around RM400 difference anyway.

State out your display settings on the PS3.

720P checked? Is 1080P checked as well? What about the 720i and 1080i resolutions? Are they checked?

If you want 720P only, just check that. The rest, 720i 1080i 1080P, turn it off and see what happens. 576P cannot be unchecked so that's unavoidable.

Hi, guys. So I've been using 32LG80FR-TA for a while now. I noticed that the highest refresh rate that it can achieve is 60hz when running on 1080p. But, after comparing it with the tv which is on display at Sony Centre, my tv is way inferior. Is it because of the refresh rate or the hdmi cable? I don't remember what brand do i use for my hdmi cable but im planning on getting these if i were to change my hdmi cable.

Need your feedback. Thanks.

First off, are the two TVs the same model?

Second, did you alter the settings (brightness, contrast, etc) of the tv?

Display models in stores are meant to attract buyers, as such the default factory settings on them are usually high with brightness and contrast. If it is indeed the same model and you havent tampered with the settings yet, it's not meant to be the same as yours shipped with the factory settings for home use.

I use the term factory setting loosely here, as we all know these TVs require calibration post setup.

I do not think this is caused by your cables. You cant go wrong with ones cheaper than that, it's your prerogative.

For PS3 gaming precisely. Around RM400 difference anyway.


Added on May 25, 2010, 9:35 amWas wondering is it important to get a FULL HD and sacrifice the screen size. Anyway, thanks for the feedback.

27" is way too small to see any significant video/picture quality of FullHD.. actually, for me.. even the 32" is kinda small to see the difference... for FullHD, I still feel that 40" above is ideal.
Hence, it's not important to get FullHD and sacrifice the screen size... at 7ft away, 27" is kinda small.. 32" at 7ft away is just nice smile.gif I have a 32" in my room and at 8-10 ft away, sometimes.. it feels small..

Get cheap cheap speakers first, save money to get better speakers later, or just get cheap home theater with optical input for true surround nod.gif

Yes. Just use the AV composite cables. You might need a connector for. Set you aback for RM3 for the connector. I'm not sure if it's called a connector thou. Maybe it has another name for it.

Check your setting with your PS3 system. Tick every box from the lowest till 1080p. You might have overlooked this.

But if the source is from PS3 HDMI, is it possible to output the sound?
Means,
PS3 > HDMI > LCD TV
LCD TV Audio Out > RCA(Phono)> External PC Speaker.
I tested, it doesn't. wink.gif

Wookie...We'll leave the HDMI out because it's for your graphical department which is not a problem. Let's get a move on with the audio department, shall we?

We can have an AV composite from the external speakers itself and another one comes out from the PS3 system. These two sets of AV composite can be connected with a connector. Voila! There you have it.

That way will works because the audio signal is output from the PS3 itself, not from the LCD TV.
But for your audio department dear, it will give you 2 channel signal stereo only.
By the way, the "connector" should be the RCA Coupler smile.gif

What TV you using?

Most TVs I've seen have 3.5mm output jacks, so you can connect the PS3 to the TV via HDMI and plug the speakers into the TV via the 3.5mm cable.

You could also use a Y-splitter and the PS3's RCA cables, but the first method allows anything connected to the TV to use the speakers and not just your PS3.

My current setup.

Samsung 40" LED TV

HDMI1 = PS3
HDMI2 = HYPPTV
HDMI3/DVI = PC
AV = DVD

Connected via WIFI to Unifi router.
Though wondering if I should use a wired connection instead as some people said WIFI makes it run hot.

I just bought my new PS3. I have sharp TV (model: LC37A66M) with full HD support bought last year only. I got a PS3 and hooked it up to my Sharp 37 inch LCD tv using an HDMI cable. I have blinking or blank screen issues and can return to normal and play a while blicking happen again and sometimes the screen go blank and up again. I try the same HDMI cable to my xbox, no problem. So it is not HDMI cable issue I think. And I don't think it PS3 problem either since the shop has demo to me before selling the unit to me. The strange thing is my TV and xbox don't have this issues. So is PS3 or Sharp TV issue??

The latest fad is 3D LED HDTVs. Manufacturers are ramping up production of those for upcoming end of year holiday sales.
Therefore, regular LED TVs prices will drop. Older LCD TV prices will drop even further, and eventually stopped being produced.

If you still want LCDs, definitely prices will drop for those.

I face this problem before. U must use Category 2 HDMI cable (High Speed) for ur PS3, not Category 1 HDMI cable (Standard).

C&P from Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Cables]

Cables

Although no maximum length for an HDMI cable is specified, signal attenuation—dependent on the cable's construction quality and conducting materials—limits usable lengths in practice.[57] HDMI 1.3 defines two cable categories: Category 1-certified cables, which have been tested at 74.5 MHz (which would include resolutions such as 720p60 and 1080i60), and Category 2-certified cables, which have been tested at 340 MHz (which would include resolutions such as 1080p60 and 2160p30).[54][58][59] Category 1 HDMI cables are to be marketed as "Standard" and Category 2 HDMI cables as "High Speed".[1] This labeling guideline for HDMI cables went into effect on October 17, 2008.[60][61] Category 1 and 2 cables can either meet the required parameter specifications for interpair skew, far-end crosstalk, attenuation, and differential impedance, or they can meet the required nonequalized/equalized eye diagram requirements.[58] A cable of about 5 meters (16 ft.) can be manufactured to Category 1 specifications easily and inexpensively by using 28 AWG (0.081 mm²) conductors.[57] With better quality construction and materials, including 24 AWG (0.205 mm²) conductors, an HDMI cable can reach lengths of up to 15 meters (49 ft.).[57] Many HDMI cables under 5 meters of length that were made before the HDMI 1.3 specification can work as Category 2 cables, but only Category 2-tested cables are guaranteed to work.[62]

yalor but still cheaper than any LED tv mar..

Cheaper because it's smaller in size and also the LED Backlighting is White instead of RGB so there is no difference between CCFL vs White LED Backlighting other than power consumption differences and also possibly a more uniform backlighting provided if it's backlit rather than edge lit.

I just bought my new PS3. I have sharp TV (model: LC37A66M) with full HD support bought last year only. I got a PS3 and hooked it up to my Sharp 37 inch LCD tv using an HDMI cable. I have blinking or blank screen issues and can return to normal and play a while blicking happen again and sometimes the screen go blank and up again. I try the same HDMI cable to my xbox, no problem. So it is not HDMI cable issue I think. And I don't think it PS3 problem either since the shop has demo to me before selling the unit to me. The strange thing is my TV and xbox don't have this issues. So is PS3 or Sharp TV issue??

many2 moon ago, i got some problem as well... Wat I do, very simple, turn off the tv and turn it on back.. heheheh tongue.gif seriously...

if its the same problem like im having, you can refer to this http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2...v%3DGj_gEwHOQEI

Hello there,

Well, u cant improve the graphics on a CRT TV .. u need an LCD / LED TV/Monitor with HDMI Support to display 720p/1080p video to be able to enjoy HD resoolution.

CRT supports up to 480p ( standard definition ) at highest.

I strongly suggest u to plug ur ps3 into a HD ready tv or FULL HD Tv ( maximum pleasure ) using HDMI .

Playing on a CRT TV is definitely possible , just downgraded graphics , looking like PS2. blush.gif

Just to correct you on a small matter, there are HD CRTs on the market before and they supported up to 1080i IIRC.

they have option which to display...
you cant display both, one at a time
they wont affect a thing.use my ps3 monitor as pc replacement monitor.
both cable from ps3 and pc are connected.if want to play ps3, just hit the display output option to hdmi.
useful for youtube walkthrough + playing game at the same time

but now already got u2410 rclxm9.gif
no nid to share same monitor
damn nice picture quality

Yeap, you can't display both signals at the same time unless your display supports PiP (Picture in Picture).

Dell is good, its one of the cheapest IPS panel LCD available . IPS = Larger viewing angle , Sharper images and colour drool.gif drool.gif .

Definitely no regret if u get dell monitor.

Actually, Small monitor with Full HD (1080p) will make the images look alot more nicer brows.gif .

U can drop by at sony to get HDMI cable . or u could just get a cheap 3rd party one at any cable / pc shop for about 20-30 ringgit.. same performance. biggrin.gif

I recommend Dell Ultrasharp full hd for gaming, No Regrets for sure icon_rolleyes.gif

dont get it...dell ultrasharp 23 is known for its backlight bleeding (at the back, see lights come out)
and at the edges, got red and blue color abit =.= (dunno whats this called , forgot)
and it gets worst with age.

think of it like xbox360
f youre lucky, wont kena rrod
but if your unlucky....

even its ips, not worth it...better get the new tn with led

I almost want to get it, but after some advice from ppl who own it, got myself the 24 one instead.
no issues with new revision (old one got dithering issues)
and also factory calibrated, out of the box already awesome color reproduction

Did you try changing the resolution? smile.gif Maybe it's the monitor. You need to configure the input signal for some types of monitor or it can't support 1080.

There might be a few reasons.

Most likely is that you are playing something (say a DVD or a video file) that is not in HD but in SD, which is only 480p. Try going to the menu of the PS3, it should default to either 720p or 1080p when you are there or playing games.

If that's not the case, go here:

http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en...ideooutput.html

They show you how to set your PS3 to output at a desired resolution.

If it still doesn't solve the problem, check your monitor input settings.

That should work i think smile.gif

older lcds have more than 40ms lag... yet ppl play ps3 on it... so should be ok

some games can adjust accordingly the video/audio lag

some FullHD lcd monitors are not able to display 1080p properly, when using with ps3... as for other devices they can display 1080p properly... strange

some users able to output to 1080p for months, then at one time, it went blank screen (not being able to display 1080p). Seem to me like hdcp or hdmi cable issue hmm.gif

Hey guys,

Planning to buy a PS3 but wanted to use back my Dell 2707 PC monitor cos its a 27" monitor. My one concern is , this monitor doesnt comes with a speaker. SO can I buy a separate USB Speaker and connect the power source to the monitor, while the sound cable back to PS3?

Planning to buy a PS3 but wanted to use back my Dell 2707 PC monitor cos its a 27" monitor. My one concern is , this monitor doesnt comes with a speaker. SO can I buy a separate USB Speaker and connect the power source to the monitor, while the sound cable back to PS3?

happens to me, i tried my 20m hdmi it cannot do 1080p

dont think it's cable problem.it's the monitor..same goes to acer X233H also..
mine X203H also cant display if we set 1080p..it says input not supported.
yeah i know x203h res is only 1600x900, but i got no problem displaying 1080p on my 19" dell (1440x900).so it's most likely the monitor problem.

Hi all,

I am using Sharp Aquos 66 series and whenever i set my display to 1080p, the display will auto turn off and will only recover after 30 sec (quite frequently and will keep on happening even when i am not playing any games).

While i am playing some games that supports 1080p like ff13, flickering problem occurs as well. Would like to know what is the problem~

Cable not 1.3 may be.. guess it could be an old 1.2 causing this since you can still get image from other settings with that cable

I'm afraid that's not possible, both are different signals thus you'd need a converter to do that which isn't cost efficient. Get a new monitor instead.

Can anyone tell me if Sharp Aquos 37" usually have black contrast issues? i.e. the dark scenes are super dark in that you can't see what's going on? Even with backlight full, contrast and brightness high I still miss all the details..

i'm pretty much very pissed already, thinking of changing to plasma tv or something with higher contrast ratio... just hope it doesn't happen to me again...

I dont think there is a different between cheap and expensive HDMI cable. There are all the same.


I'm using Samsung P2770H for my PS3. The picture is so beautiful and the monitor itself look so stylish. Really recommend to those who want to use an LCD Monitor with their PS3.

Hi guys,i would like to buy a lcd tv for my room

i shortlisted few model, but all seems great but i don't know which is good for ps3 gaming

here are the model
1) Philips 32PFL5605 (LED Full HD) -RM 1950
looks promising on the color contrast, clear picture, fantastic display....but not really confident on Philips product. But at this price could get LED with this kind of quality worth it

2) Sony EX400 (Full HD) - RM 1750
Never see or test this product before, anyone using it?any review?

3) SHARP LC32A66M (Full HD) - RM 1600
A decent price with decent display, but the finishing looks promising

any suggestion guys smile.gif thanks in advance smile.gif

Yes, I definitely agree with this no difference on the output. Better get normal HDMI cable, works fine for me! I even borrow my frens MONSTER cable, obviously no diff on the output.

because now PS3 can support 3D with new firmware so i beleive it will be work great with sony lcd,
if u see SONY got BRAVIA and if u wanna use this function u need to use all SONY equipment,
same like PANASONIC, they got VIERA and it will only work with PANASONIC item.
others brand not sure...

you got it all wrong.
that's not how 3d works....

yes, the PS3 can support 3D with the new firmware now.

and , no, not all SONY LCD/LED can view in 3D mode.
its only for those tv that are equip with the 3D technology,
doesn't matter if its by SONY, PANA, PIONEER, SAMMY...etc
and again, no, you don't have to use all SONY stuff, to use this function.

that means, you gotta fork out (last time I check) around rm 15,000 - rm20,000 for one of them 3D tv.
and for additional 3D specs gonna cost you 500 bucks each.

Bro, BRAVIA is SONY flat panel TV siries name, same VIERA is PANASONIC Flat penal TV sifies.
Do u mean the Bravia Sync and Viera Link?

Actually all thus is HDMI control other device using HDMI link, my fren example he is using philips 42" full HD that support HDMI link support(dunno what philips call lah), and he is using PS3 slim that support Bravia sync (sony call this HDMI link), when he switch on Ps3 his switch on automaticaly. When off ps3 tv also off. to activate tis at XMB>settings>system settings>control for HDMI>set it to on.
Then, the system and devices connected via HDMI can operate each other lo

and for additional 3D specs gonna cost you 500 bucks each.

owh ok2
last two day i checked the price at sony midvalley cheapest led that support 3D is RM10k

Bro, BRAVIA is SONY flat panel TV siries name, same VIERA is PANASONIC Flat penal TV sifies.
Do u mean the Bravia Sync and Viera Link?

Actually all thus is HDMI control other device using HDMI link, my fren example he is using philips 42" full HD that support HDMI link support(dunno what philips call lah), and he is using PS3 slim that support Bravia sync (sony call this HDMI link), when he switch on Ps3 his switch on automaticaly. When off ps3 tv also off.  to activate tis at XMB>settings>system settings>control for HDMI>set it to on.
Then, the system and devices connected via HDMI can operate each other lo

hehe tq.. so im wrong bout this.. thanks. i though bravia sync will only work with sony, same like viera only work with pana... tq tq

When it prompts you for an update, yes. You need to update the Firmware.

Now that i've found this thread..

Which is worth the purchase?

KLV EX400 (RM 1,999) or Dell u2410 (Rm 1,799)?

If my comparisons of these two displays are wrong to begin with, do tell me.

No such cable and even if there is one, you won't be able to play since PS3 does not output through VGA signal. The closest thing you will get is a converter box and that will not result in a desirable picture quality compared to DVI or HDMI.

I own a Dell ST2410 24", have to say pretty satisfied with it. The pic is crystal clear, compare to my other Sony 40" and Philips 32" LCD tv. And its conveniences since i put that Dell in my room to play PS3 and HD movies so it save some space as its not that big.

But there r cons to the Dell display, it doesn't come with speaker, you have to buy then separately although a nice RM25 SonicBoom Speaker will do (depend on ur budget)

In the end, i recommended it if you want to buy the LCD display playing PS3 game and watch HD movies on your own but if its for the whole family entertainment, better get a bigger screen... again depend on ur usage.

if u not going for Full HD, I recommend a LCD TV instead of LCD Monitor, I'm using a Sony 32" (Around RM 1500, other brand could be cheaper) for both PC and PS3, i use HD cable for both so it ease the trouble to go thru a lot of configuration from PC to LCD TV.

actually 1080p doesnt make much diff for 32" lcd since u wont get to see the difference with human vision, 1080p usually suit better for 42" and up. the biggest problem that i have with my 32" LCD is the Hz, 60hz LCD will sometime lag slightly when u play movie or video game even if it's just 32". But 100-200hz tv is flawless, however to get higher hz means more cash which i not investing atm sad.gif

Guys, is it normal to have the LCD while in standby mode not able to turn on and display anything while ps3 is started? I could heear it's started cos speakers got the ps3 welcome sound- eg: my LCD is standby, turn on ps3, heard the sound but no display, turned off LCD completely by pressing power, turn on again and image appears..

Alternatively I could turn on ps3 first then turn on my LCD and it'll display straight..
I'm using LG LED flatron e2350t and dvi to hdmi cable/y splitter for audio.

your problem maybe cos you got many cable wired to your lcd.
the display scans 1 by 1 the inputs, hence the waiting time.

or maybe you dont set it to specific input.
I think if you set it to hdmi, will straight on.
could be a problem with the cable oso.

just my two cents, cos my old monitor is like that, the last time I got 2 pc+1 ps3 ( 1 dvi, 1 hdmi and 1 vga cable...lol) connected at the back, the monitor will boot slow.

that's why, i thought so too, that's why i'm asking. like sony with the motion flow 100Hz Kaka' advertisement, they are really focusing it on watching football only. bt i noticed that when u play a blu-ray movie on a display with motion technology, the movie image seems life like... i'm just wondering if it's the same for gaming too... anyone?

HD only capable of 720p, Full HD 1080p ( progressive )

For games, better buy tv with 1080p and high refresh rate ( 100mhz ), I'm plating with my 32 Sharp Aquos 1080p, no problem biggrin.gif

For home theater just settled down with HD plasma ( 720p )

i recently bought samsung bx2450 monitor (full HD), which has two hdmi ports. I plug in one for my PC, while another for PS3. it has audio out as well, so that I can use my headphone for PS3.

I turn on the PS3, the menu looks fine and sharp. However, when I start a game, Red Dead Redemption for example, the resolution seems to be lower than 1080, and looks fuzzy.

Anyone knows how I can make the game resolution sharper? At the display setting menu, I've select 1080p. Thanks.

ok. i went to check again, when i start the PS3 menu, it will display at 1080 resolution. Once I loaded in the game, example RDR, it will change the resolution to 720, which makes it very fuzzy, and jagged at the edges. So for this, i think it's due to the supported HD video output, which is only up to 720p.

Then i load NBA2K11, which can goes up to 1080, when the game loaded, the resolution will only load 720p, although my monitor is fullHD. is there anyway to set the game's resolution to 1080? In the graphic setting I've choose all resolution, and it can go up to 1080p, on the PS3 menu screen.

You missed one more item. There are differences between 3D-Ready TV and 3D-integrated TV. If ur TV is 3D-ready, yes you can watch 3D blueray on it but only if you have the 3D transmitter. Usually it is sold separately. It's common with Sony brand. I guess it's the same with other brand.

Yup PS3 via latest firmware update now can play 3D BD ady. But if you can afford to have the Sony BD Player, there's this one function which is called HD Upscale which function is to virtually convert any DVD disc to a Full HD pictars. tongue.gif

The model you described is indeed a FullHD tv but i think you got conned because if your ps3 can only display 1080i then it's only HD-Ready.

Check the back of your TV for the model number and make sure it's really LC37A66M or not.

hi all,

I'm a H233H user as well.

A quick inquiry, does any user here playing PS3 @ Winning Eleven 2011 on their H233H? How was the in-game graphics?

I connected PS3 > HDMI cable > H233H.

The WE 2011 in-game graphic is very terrible. Players look jagged. Any H233H user experience this?

*I posted on PES/WE thread, till now, didn't get the info that I inquire for. And if this is the wrong thread to post, then please forgive me. smile.gif

I have one question here, i wonder why... I use a HDMI cable to connect my PS3 to a samsung monitor which is 27" P2770FH, when i change the PS3 output setting to 1080i, everything seems normal and perfect... but how come when i change to 1080p, the video output shows very flashy and is like TV mistuned like this... and the screen output keep on jumping and unstable when i change output to 1080p... how come? The monitor should be able to output 1080p... anyone of u guys facing such problem be4?

For WE 2011, the resolution is 720p

If playing FIFA 2011, the in-game graphics looks good.

When playing GT5, resolution is 1080p and the in-game graphics looks good as well.

That's why I would like to know any H233H owner playing WE 2011 using HDMI cable. Does your WE 2011 in-game graphics looks jagged?

hi benblitz,

I'm not sure calibration for LCD or LED TV has what kind of options to select from, but as for me, there isn't much to calibrate as this is a 23" Full HD Acer LCD monitor, it has normal settings options, and I have tried all of them but still the same.

The PS 3 WE 2011 in-game graphics was so bad that someone could have thought I was playing the WE series either from PS 1 or PS 2.

So, anyone playing WE 2011 on their H233H via HDMI cable?

The cable the came with the PS3 is not "component" cable, it's called "composite" cable.
Component cable should be able to give 720p output.
