I was just wondering if anyone else has a problem with the quality of the Bluray discs on their PS3? I have a 47" LCD HDTV and it seems that when I play a Bluray disc it gets kind of fuzzy. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?

What cable are you using and how close are you sitting? A screen that size you should be at least 8' away.

Mine works great:P

I would suggest checking your cables, make sure your settings are correct for your tv(1080p vs 1080i) and use a decent quality hdmi cable.

I really don't know what type of cable to tell the truth. It was the cheapest one at target about a year ago. So should I go get a moster cable or something on the high end?

By the way I'm about 8' away and using a HDMI cable. It was just the cheapest cable at the time and I just had bought a $600 PS3 last summer. So I really didn't really have that much more money for a great cable.

Don't know what it could be then. I have a 47" LCD, PS3 over HDMI, and none of my blurays look fuzzy at all. Is it all of you movies or just certain ones? Even my upscaled SD stuff looks good.

To be more specific it pretty much on all of my Bluray discs. My DVD's look great being up-scaled. When I watch a Bluray any scene that moves fast looks great but if there is no action it seems to get fuzzy in the big areas of a certain color. I'm pretty sure its referred to as "noise". So I looked through my TV settings and and there is a noise filter. So I put the setting on high and it seems it helps a little but it should still look alot better. I'm guessing I should just go buy a better quality cable.

It's a Olevia 47" LCD. I know it's low end but everything else looks great on it besides Bluray. All the games look awesome and HDTV channels look great.

Double check all your display settings on your PS3. You shouldn't have to consider a better HDMI cable unless you need to run it more than 15'.

What movie/movies are you having trouble with? Older ones probably won't look as sharp, since they were converted from the original film. (which weren't as sharp to begin with, and detail does tend to get lost in "translation")

That's completely correct. It's a digital signal, it either works or it doesn't.

300 has fuzziness built in, it was a filter used for the movie to give it that look. Black Hawk Down from what I remember had some spots of not so great transfer.
