Hi,
I was wondering please as to which settings forum members have in relation to Blue Ray film playback on their PS3?

I have been having a few issues with my picture (the LCD TV is setup fine for HD content)

The first issue is with grainy backgrounds.
Say for example in Day After Tomorrow, the scene where they're in the library and the camera slowly pans round the room - all the walls etc seem very grainy.
Similarly when the scientists are in the arctic office looking at their printouts - again the walls are all grainy.
The camera isnt focusing in on them yet the issue is the same

The second issue is with camera panning.
At the start of Day After Tomorrow where the credits come up and the helicopter is flying all over the countryside - whenever it moves slowly from side to side, or up and down, the picture judders whilst doing this.

Could anyone who has a perfect pic from their PS3 let me know the settings for video playback that you use please so I can change mine?

I don't have a PS3 or the films you talk about but it's probable that your problems are not to do with the PS3 in particular.

The grain is probably in the film and may well be deliberate.

The judder will probably be because your TV doesn't accept 1080p24 so the PS3 has to use 3:2 pulldown to convert to 1080p60 (or possibly the TV accepts 1080p24 but doesn't display at a multiple of 24).

Hi, thanks for your reply.

Not altogether sure what you mean by the above though?
Are you saying that p24 needs to be turned off somehow?

Films are produced at a speed of 24 frames per second, most HD TVs will only show pictures at a rate of 50 or 60 frames per second.

If the TV does not support showing the films at a multiple of 24 frames per second then the Blu Ray player will output at 60 frames per second, it does this by showing one frame twice and the next one three times. Most of the time this is not noticeable but it can be seen as judder on slow panning scenes and credits etc.

The US have had this problem for a long time since their SD programmes are at 480i60 (30 fps) whereas with PAL films are just sped up from 24 to 25 fps which means no judder but the sound will be higher in frequency which is a problem for those with perfect pitch.


Some modern TVs will refresh their screen at a multiple of 24Hz which means this judder is not a problem but most do not.
