From the "Help me choose HDTV" thread...
So, after getting my new Sony 32" LCD earlier this week, I ordered an HDMI cable from monoprice, and it arrived today. I eagerly tore open the package, hooked it up between my TV and PS3, and awaited high-definition glory.
What I got instead was a complete mess. After setting the PS3 to output via HDMI (trying both 1080i and 720p), something really weird is going on. When navigating the XMB, it's almost as if the screen isn't refreshing properly. As I scroll through menu items, it leaves behind traces of what menus I've been through, almost like the background is made of sand and the menus are leaving footprints. For example, if I go across something that brings up a textbox (but doesn't fully change the background image), once leaving that box enough of an impression is left that I can still read what the text was.
I've tried checking all the options I could dig up in both the PS3 menus and the TV menus, but I've found nothing that has fixed this. I'm also having an issue when loading something from the PS3, like a game or a movie - almost like the TV is losing the signal momentarily. (I think this may be an issue with HDMI, though, right?)
Anybody with a similar set-up had an issue like this? I'm not sure if it's the PS3, the TV, or the HDMI cable. I haven't tried much DVD upconverting yet, but to be honest, unless it blows me away, I might just go back to component for everything.
replied in that thread, but the jist was that the same thing happens with my Samsung lcd.
I also get slight ghosting on my 42" plasma from my PS3. Same situation where if the background is black it will leave a slight imprint until the screen is filled with colors again. As for the losing signal, my TV does that when I switch from one resolution to another, so that may be what's happening with yours.
I'd noticed the same thing when I popped in God of War; The last time I had played it, was on my old Trinitron. I then played the game on my PS2 and realized the game just looks horrible on an HD set, in general.Quote:

Careful. There are HD CRTs, and 480i/p looks great on them.Quote:

I have an HD CRT. It's a Sony KV-32HS420(4:3) that does 480i and 1080i; Some titles look like ass, while others look better.Quote:
