HDTV is giving rough looking edges on games like Uncharted 2.

I treated myself to a brand new 46" Bravia HDTV for christmas. Considering i was on a 20" box of rust before, it's quite the treat. however, for some reason in games like uncharted 2 and other games famed for their graphics, the edges on characters and some of the scenery seems overly sharpened. I don't quite know how to explain it, i guess the best word i can think of is janky. The edges look rough, and i was wondering if there might be some setting in the TV/Ps3 that i might wanna look into to fix it, or maybe it is just my TV, any help would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I just tried that, and it didn't seem to make any noticeable difference.

Maybe i'm just new to HD, but i always assumed edges would be smooth.

Im using a rocketfish HDMI cable.

You did switch the output settings on your PS3, right? I'm pretty sure you would have, but it never hurt to ask :)

Yeah, i did :p , it's just the edges of models that looks bad, the rest looks absolutely beautiful. I was wondering if it might be the Anti Aliasing on the playstation that gives these edges janky look. :S

1) What is the video output setting (resolution) for the system?

2) Did you update your system?

Most PS3 games are 720p. Not every PS3 owner have their system set for 720p, 1080i, 1080p displays.

It's not a problem with your TV so I'd set all yours TV settings back to how they were. Consoles these days are only powerful enough to handle games at 720P, which is a step below your TV. In other words, your TV is better than your consoles. The image is so clear that the game's aliasing and flaws are very apparent.KHAndAnime

Usually HDTVs are set out of the box as Vivid setting. They do this so when the set it up in the stores with all those bright lights the TV will look best and look like it has brighter colors than the rest. Try customizing your TV setting or change it to Standard and see if that does anything. My KDSA3000 Bravia has a Detail Enhancer and Edge Enhancer setting, I have the Detail set as High and the Edge set as Medium. See if your TV has similiar settings.

[QUOTE="my_name_is_ron"][QUOTE="Mages__Decent"] Okay, cheers. Is there any way that i can force the TV to render in 720p?brotherreese

[QUOTE="brotherreese"][QUOTE="my_name_is_ron"] it should switch automatically to 720p when you switch the ps3 on. the tv automatically adjusts to the source resolutionshawty1984

Okay, so how do i go about fixing that? Disable 1080p on the Ps3?

I have a 32 Inch Bravia, and to adjust sharness for me, hit the menu button, hit the center button, and I go down 8 spots till I get to "Sharpness" and than just adjust to the eye's liking.

[QUOTE="brotherreese"] Wrong. You have to set the PS3 to output at 720p, then the t.v will display at that level. If it's set at 1080i / 1080p, then the PS3 will try to upscale to those levels.Mages__Decent

first its always good to scroll through your tv's settings (contrast, sharpness, brightness, color, etc) and adjust them to how you like them and feel they look. factory settings seldom please the consumers eye. then, go to your ps3's video output settings and make sure youre in 720p. next, go to display settings and adjust your hdmi range and whatnot. if you cant start to get the image more to your liking through tuning these things then i dont know what to tell ya.

nah, it's quite normal, there are rough edges on every xbox360/ps3 games

solving this is as easy as sitting further away from your TV,

there will be a distance where everything will actually looks beautiful, whether it's 1080p or 720p

hope that helps, since that was my own experience. doing calibration like guys above could help, but sitting further from the TV helped me :)
