PS3 HDMI problem - edges of screen cut off (please help)

I recently bought the 80 gb PS3-MGS4 bundle and a Sony 720p HDTV (KDL-26M4000). I have the system hooked up with Sony's PS3 HDMI cables. I've noticed that the edges of my screen sometimes get cut off when I transition between games/from a game back to the PS3 system screen.

For example, say I load a bluray movie, watch it for a bit, and then go back to the system screen. Then I pop in Soul Calibur 4 and let it autoboot. For some reason the resolution gets messed up (I think), because some of the words start running off the screen. Then if I press the HOME button, the clock time is also cut off (I only see the hour and not the minutes). If I exit out of the game, things go back to normal... and then when I start the game up again things seem to be fine too.

Do any of you know why this may be happening? When I first hooked up the TV, the PS3 autodetected the resolution to 1080i, but I manually disabled 1080i and set it to 720p. I just want to make sure nothing's wrong with my TV, because if there is, I can still take it back within 14 days.

Thanks for your help -

I have a similar problem, my screen goes black when; in between going from a game to the XMB, or from the XMB to a DVD (and vice versa) I have to turn off my tv and back on again

this happens on both of my TV's; a 50 inch Samsung PD, and a 19 inch Goodmans LD (both HD TV's 1080i)

i had this problem to. the way i fixed it was the tv settings where on 16:9 but when i changed it to "just scan" it did not cut off the edges anymoresvandy88

This is OT but your sig is so full of win for BK.

so it turns out there's an option on my tv to auto-detect the size of the screen.... turning the auto-detect off seems to solve the problem.

thanks for everyone who helped -
