Well, if it was a Sony TV, then it would probably have an option to go RGB full or something like that. I'm not sure if you can do the same for Samsung TVs, but I'd check just in case.

In display settings in the PS3 It's set limited as default try full if the screen went black then wait 30 seconds so it will get back limited as your TV doesn't support Then you can't use it I've used it with my PC monitor 2253BW 22Inch

Well, if you can't notice a big difference in the color contrast and vibrancy, then your TV probably doesn't support it.

Once you go to HDMI, you won't be able to go back. Happen to me, I can't stand to play the ps2 now.

Nice.

I recently got the Samsung 32A550 great tv aswell

Im not sure if yours is 1080p...But there is a great forum that I went to, and saw the various settings for my tv. I used that as a template and messed around with the menus of the tv, from color, brightness everything..

Search AVS forums of google, it should be the first link.

Whatever you do, dont play on GAME MODE..It drains your tv life. You can get an equivalent picture by messing around with the settings.

you can google "samsung LN32A450 best settings" to calibrate your TV, in the PS3 video settings put RGB to full ; don't care about the upscaling option, the TV itself does an ecxellent upscaling for DVDs

Congrats and welcome to gaming in HD. I remember this summer when I finally upgraded to my HDTV from my crappy 27" SD tube TV. Ahhh, getting your first HDTV, its a moment you remember for a lifetime. :P

Congrats! good for you! Samsung HDTV is great! very easy to hook on a PS3 without encountering troubles unlike other HDTVs... did you get an HDMI cable? just plug it in and it will be automatically be detected. then change the display setting to 1080 in your PS3.

ConGrats I got a 1080p Sony HDTV a few months back and havn't looked back.. Over xmas I plugged the PS3 into a 9 inch Colour CRT TV and boy was I glad when I got back home..

Although games like buzz and singstar where surprisingly playable as long as everybody got close enough to the TV..

lol

I just bought a Sony 40W4500 that is a new model and wow is it impressive. It blew me away when watching Cloverfield on Blu Ray and playing games. It's incredible and I'd never turn back now. I love my tele and PS3 :)

^ same here :D

full HD with full RPG is about the best thing that can happen to a Gamer ^^ To bad I haven't a surround-system so far, I think a good 5:1 or even 7:1 surround system would make another great difference ^^ Hopefully UHD gets popular soon and supported by the PS4, it would be awesome xD
