Hi
I've just bought a PS3 (and yes I have got a HDMI cable!!) and last night I put a Blu Ray DVD in to see just how amazing high definition is.
To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I would have been better off buying the original DVD and sticking it in my £90 HD upscaler. The picture quality was far from what I would expect for high definition. The colours weren't exactly sharp and the picture was slightly grainy. It was as though I was just watching the original DVD in a cheap DVD player.
Anyway, I went into the HDMI settings on my TV to see if I could sort it but I'm confused by the different options I have. Can anyone tell me what I need to select to be able to fully enjoy high definition?
See below for the options I have;
Signal Type[Selects the type of video signal input from a HDMI terminal] > RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, YCbCr 4:2:2
Colour Matrix [selects the internal colour space conversion method when an RGB signal is input] > ITU601, ITU709
Dynamic Range [Selects the signal amplitude range] > Normal, Enhanced
Auto View [Selects whether or not to use WIDE MODE based on signal recognition] > Disable, Enable
Audio Select [Selects the audio input via HDMI or Audio(L/R)] > Digital via HDMI, Analogue via Audio(L/R)
I've also asked about this is the PS3 section and was told to update my firmware. I'll do that tonight but it would also be extremely helpful if I knew my TV was set up correctly.
I hope I can sort this so I can get full high definition quality because at the minute, the picture quality I'm getting is no better than what I was getting before from my HD upscaler.
The film I've got on Blu Ray btw is Identity which, on the website below, says it deserves 4.5 out of 5 for HD quality and also that it supports 1080p. On the back of the box though, where it gives all the region details etc, I can't remember what the box says where it gives you the HD resolution but I know for a fact it says 720p, not 1080p.
