Hi,

I just bought my 80gb ps3 last monday from Sony Centre mid-valley. The TV im using is Panasonic VIERA TX-37LZ80MK..

Everytime i start a game, the TV screen flickers blue screen (2-3 seconds)and the game starts normally. No problems encountered while playing. And when i quit the game to go back to the ps3 main menu the screen flickers blue screen again (2-3 seconds).. this only happens when i load and quit a game... i have no BLUE-RAY movies so haven't tried in regards to that..

I have set my video settings as automatic as well as tick on all options, 720, 1080i..etc.. however this still happens.. i read about having HDMI handshake issue, is this the same? I'm using the HDMI cable provided by Panasonic, not sure if its CAP ayam or suppose to be good, but i have tried my friends Sony HDMI cable and its still the same.

The HDMI cable is plug to my HDMI 1 input, is there a difference if i plug it to HDMI 1 or HDMI 2?

I'm wondering if anyone have encounter this problem or is this normal where the TV or PS3 adjusts the resolution whenever i start and quit the game?

Other than this, which is annoying at times... everything else runs smoothly ..

Thanks in advance..

so it's normal ar.. hmm.. well then, no choice loh.... like u said close eyes ..

i'll have to look away everytime i start n quit a game then.. thanks

ok will check through the manual again, see if can disable the blue screen, i rather get a black screen making it look just as though it takes 2-3 seconds longer to load then *blue screen* appearing n flashing .. n i normally play without much lighting..lol tats y its annoying..

thanks for the tip

hehe adjusted the blue screen to off.. go to setup menu and off the blue screen option n ur done.. mine dind't had any backlight bleeding as u mention on your brothers.. wat movies is he wtching? blue ray? or normal dvd (ahem type?)

now no more blue screen flickering.. its just all black for 2-3 seconds .. the only thing i notice is the HDMI 1 sign on the top of screen font size changes to smaller once i start the game.. other than that all is well.. yippie!!!

thanks Kaiser Wave for the tip on how to turn the blue screen off.. i read the manual as well n didn't realise this option.. lol.. didn't know the name was really blue screen..haha..

need all the experience help i can get.. planning to use my ps3 with dell 2300mp projector. what sort of cable would i need for it work. i don't have switch etc.. as will be using the projector for one night.. and also.. in regards would a usb powered speaker be able to be used with the ps3 for the purpose of using the projector?..

really desperate for help.. much thanks in advance..
