you have red/blue/green cables and they are hooked up correctly on the tv? Not red/white and yellow.

p.s. you should just buy a HDMI cable for 20 at wal mart since your tv has it.

If everything is set-up correctly via your TV, then it's your PS3 Settings.

Re: HDVT/PS3 problem (help!!!)

don't know what to tell you. has to be something in the ps3 or tv settings.

Re: HDVT/PS3 problem (help!!!)

fooled around with the display settings, turing every special hdtv option on. It has reduced the bluriness pretty well, except there are still a lot of jaggies on the facemasks and outline of the players, but it looks more high-def now. Jaggies are fairly common fb games, so it not as big a concern for me.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me.

Update your PS3! PS2 games are notoriously blurry on the PS3 and look loads better upconverted with the 1.7 update! Also, do an auto-detect for your resolutions (the PS3 will detect all available resolutions for your display).

The sharpness to zero might not be correct, as it can over-soften your picture. If you own a Sony Blu-ray (like 'Talladega Nights' or 'Hellboy') on the main menu hit "triangle" then *7669*. You'll get some test patterns I can explain. It'll also improve your picture.

Good luck!

EDIT: Turning all your options on may actually degrade picture further by adding edge enhancement, crushing your blacks, blue-ing up the grayscale, etc. I can help with the calibration stuff, but it's a bit in depth. I'll at least need all your options first! *

Take it easy. People are just trying to help you out.

How does the XMB menu look? Blurry?

Alright smart ***, next time make your post clearer! You start off mentioning how it looks like **** in 480i! Well no **** sherlock! Any high def game will look like crap in standard definition.

You know what, fix your own damn TV! Better yet, buy a better quality display as opposed to some crappy Samsung LCD monitor. Sammy only excels in the DLP realm anyway.

Seriously, I've helped a lot of people over in the HDTV thread, it's a hobby of mine. I'm a big geek when it comes to home audio/video, calibration, etc. Taking **** from some little high school pisser just chaps my ***.

haha i was kidding! But on a serious note madden looks decent on my 35 inch SDTV, my problem was that madden looked better on my sdtv than my hdtv.

and i appreciate the help i'm getting, I was playing with you since you seemed to misread my posts, and btw i made that comment before u edited your post with helpful insight.

I think you overreacted a little bit, considering i was just playing with you, but the reference to chap my *** made me laugh...

and i'm not in high school

Re: HDVT/PS3 problem (help!!!)

so far turning on all the options for the display have helped picture quality...I'm starting to think it must be my tv, which may be a P.O.S.

is it normal for games to be blurry when you first have a hdtv? Is calibrating expected to get good picture?

I never had a problem with my 360 and various monitors using the VGA cable. Can you hook up cable to it and see regular HD TV channels? See the quality of those?

It shouldn't be blurry. Have you tried a different game to see how that looks ? When you go into the ps3 menu's, does it say what resolution you are using ???
