Daston Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hey guys Grabbed 300 on blu ray last night (first blu ray purchase) and noticed it was really grainy (like when a TV has bad signal) not too bad to watch it but it was no better than a normal DVD. Is this normal or do I need to change the settings?? Running it through the normal PS3 controller does the remote make a big difference? My TV is a 37" Sharp Aquios 1080p Full HD. All my 1080p trailers I have downloaded look sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 How is your PS3 connected to the TV? It should be connected with HDMI and set to a decent resolution 720p or pref 1080i /p Check the settings, blueray plays fine on mine.

Daston Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 HDMI set to 1080p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Shouldnt be grainy then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 weird is there any settings in the PS3 settings that need to be set to make it 1080p? Maybe its the disk it did say "if this Blu Ray disk is newer than your blu ray player you may need the latest software". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIL Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yep you have to tweak your tv and ps3 to get the best picture (syncronising them with each other). If not set up properly it can look overly grainy. Cant remember exactly how we did this at a mates but when you get it right the picture is just awsome!

Alex Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Is your TV capable of 24FPS playback? Or 100hz? If not your playback will be compromised. TV's without true 24fps and 1:1 pull down won't give the best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I think then...you're missing 24fps support. What playback settings are you using on the PS3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 its set to auto. If I set it to 24hz it says out of range. Damn thats most annoying I didnt know about different types of HDMI! Howcome 1080 games look so good then or do they use a different kind of playback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howcome 1080 games look so good then or do they use a different kind of playback? It's not HDMI...is the film and how it's made...24fps is native mode. I think the PS3 has a 60hz option which is the best compromise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Yeah - the Aquos is not 24fps, but I don't think it would make that difference to the "graininess" of the image, would it? It just means that at 50hz, you get one frame displayed for slightly longer, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snooze Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm guessing, but I figured it was a valid point there is an incompatability there... True, true. 24fps is certainly on my checklist of required features in a new TV, so I'm hoping it does make a difference too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 True, true. 24fps is certainly on my checklist of required features in a new TV, so I'm hoping it does make a difference too! It should, but it's mainly to do with motion blurring... I'd recommend Datson tries from another source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hmm will have a check on the TV settings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I was under the impression that this film is meant to be grainy and was shot in such a way that made it appear like this. Try watching something bright and colourful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try watching something bright and colourful! Thats right, just watched a clip on my mates HD DVD player, I thought the same but it's just an effect on the film.
