Further to my post earlier (pasted below for info), I've spoken to a guy at work who's been able to define the 'depression' thing I was trying to describe as 'Bruising'. I'm unsure whether this is a PS3 or a Tv issue and he's advised me to discount any sort of issue with the HDMI cable as a faulty cable wouldn't cause this?I've got no idea whether there is a known issue with Viera's or PS3 Slims as I've been looking constantly for 2 days now and can't find anything. Your help would be really really appreciated,Thanks Very Much!Previous Thread:Hi All,Many apologies if this has already been answered somewhere else but I really need some advice and was hoping someone would be able to help me.Fairly recently (it had never done this prior to a week or so ago) upon turning on my PS3 system I would get a grainy picture and strange depressions appearing on screen. When I say depressions I mean in the way that you get a a dark mark when you press your thumb against a laptop screen. These pop up randomly when there is movement on screen (i.e the floaty lines on the PS3 home menu), This is coupled with a sparkle like grainy effect. It's not overly detrimental to the viewing quality once I get into a game as there's usually so much more going on screen but obviously I want to get rid of it.Is this likely to be a problem with the PS3 system, my HDMI cable or my TV? All 3 are new and bought this side of Xmas. For reference the TV is a Panasonic Viera 32 inch 1080p, apologies I don't have the exact model number to hand.In addition, I've plugged the PS3 into the TV with the component cable and it still happens which leads me to believe its down to the PS3 considering the TV works fine with DVDs and Freeview.Any help would be appreciated!Thanks!Edit- Also I'm not sure if this makes any difference but it only seems to be happening since I was messing about and trying my HDMI cable in my laptop. Perhaps this has loosened a connection etc etc what with it being moved around? I'm going to try it on a different TV tonight to see if I can discount the TV as being the issue.Thanks again for your help.
