So, I ordered a new TV and it arrived early friday morning. I haven't had much time to sit down and fiddle with the settings yet, but there's a few issues surrounding games, mainly Uncharted. I loaded up Uncharted and to my surprise, it sort of looked worse than my little ST 25 inch screen. The game looks very jaggy and too sharp (I've put sharpness to a minimum). The best I could describe it as 'a top end PC game without anti aliasing!'.

The TV is a Sony Bravia KDL4000. Is there anyone out there who knows of a decent setting for this tv or has had similar problems?

Is your tv a KDL M400 model and what kind of cable are you using.

It's not the M400, no. I'm just using a standard HDMI cable :)

Here's the exact TV; http://www.sony.co.uk/product/t32-l-series/kdl-40l4000

I have one of this year's KDL M400 Sony Bravia tv and it looks great and when using my PS3 the games doesn't look all jaggy. Have you tried using another HDMI cable.

I haven't tried a different HDMI cable, I suppose I'll try that once I buy another. Thanks Reaper :)

If your TV has multiple HDMI ports why dont you try plugging the HDMI in the other HMDI port at the back of the TV. Ive got a Samsung LE23R87 its at least 1 year old now, but it worked perfectly out of the box, I doutb you would need to fiddle Do Sony Bravia's have game mode or similar, Somtimes different modes on TV's can throw the game off

They don't have a game mode, but they do have a vivid, standard and cinema modes.

I'll try putting the cable into the second HDMI slot :)

try turning the brightness down lcds are nortorous for being floodlights . as a result u see things you werent ment to see . also try fiddling with the other setting like noise reduction and stuff like that if its on your tv. dont forget your ps3 has a few setting as well. but again i think your main problem is brightness

If you dont succeed with any of these (im sur epeople will keep adding more ideas for you to do) Make sure your PS3 is doing its part in making the image amazing With your PS3 in Standby mode (red light) hold your finger on the On/off symbol on the front of your PS3 It will beep once, continue to hold your finger in position. After a while an image will appear on your screen, follow the prompts and see if that helps :-)

Thanks guys. I've tried all of the above, but nothing seems to help, everything is too jaggy and sharp still. I think this just might be a poor model.
