The PS3 Display Problem

[JadeSapphire]

I too have the same crop screen problem. It is at a disadvantage especially during dungeon instances not able to see the all the party members and creatures.

I know its not the "Real Solution" but if it helps in the meantime until they get you a good fix, you can move the chat box up by doing L1+R3 and moving the cursor over the chat tabs and holding I believe L2 to move the chat box.

Thanks so much.. my chat was moving right of the screen!

Any word on an upcoming fix yet? Or at least recognition of the problem?

Kinda same problem but not much...They fixed an inital problem, where my TV is too small, so things are mega clutter and had it for HDMI. They fixed that but eh.
Then again my TV is too small lol. I just want a damn option to remove chat or some shit for a while.
The chatbox is my main problem here.

They fixed nothing. There has been no fix for the initial problem outlined by my original post in this thread.

I'd like to know if this issue is only existent with large (46" and up I guess?) televisions or if it affects all sizes.

Reason being because I currently play on a 37" LG LCD TV and it does not seem to have any issues, since day one even.

I at one point had my PS3 display settings to auto so it would switch between 1080 and 720 or even 480 so one day just to see if it made a difference in quality or stability, I limited the PS3 to 720 and this did not create any positive or negative effect.

So is this only on extra large LCD tv's or is my immunity to the issue merely an anomaly?

I don't think so, my tv is 32 inch and I have the overscan issue. When I log into the game through the PS3 the characters look very blurry, whether this is done by design to allow for the amount of players playing the game, I have no idea. But, to me the graphics on the PS3 are awful compared to other games I've played! I'm hoping that the PS4 will not have these issues as ffxiv and ffxv are the main reasons why I'm getting a PS4

i was trying to fix the problem again, and i've realized that for me the issue isn't just with this game but with other PS3 stuff (in particular the PSN store). over there, the menu bar for Enter Back etc, is visually cropped off on both left and right.. which is the same as what I'm getting in XIV.. so if that problem exists for you too maybe its a common problem.

i find it odd that it may be a hardware issue.. because I had absolutely no problems when i used the same TV (LG 32LC7R) with the PS3 phat. i've only noticed this on my super slim, which i also incidentally got for XIV ARR so i've no idea if other games are affected as yet

so, anyone can post a picture or a photo of this problem?

I want to say that I have fixed my issue with the PS3 display cutting all four edges. I went out and bought a new plasma tv. While this may not fit into everyone's mind as a solution, it did for me. I was meaning to buy a new one anyone because the one I had was a 12yr old 1080i LCD Projection TV. Plugged the PS3 up to the new tv and did the display settings on the ps3 and viola, it looks normal. And the damn picture is so clear!! Before the words on the map were fuzzy and I couldn't read the chat logs unless I was right in front of the tv. I set the HUD display to the defaults and everything is right where it should be. I can see the whole chat window plus spaces to the left of it. The minimap is in the right spot. Even item windows I can now see the bottom of them.

I don't know if it was truly the new tv or turning off the upscaler option in the ps3, or maybe something else, but I can say that the display rendering on the ps3 is not the issue. That is probably why there aren't any talks about fixing it, there is nothing wrong with it. The developers are prob. using the top of the line brand new 1080p tvs and they don't see what we were seeing so they don't know how to address it. It's hard to fix a problem if you can't reproduce over and over again.

Just my 2 cents. Man the picture quality is actually really good on the ps3, at least for me because I was looking at a crappy picture before.

Just remembered one other thing I did differently is I hooked the ps3 up directly to the tv. Before I had the HDMI going to HDMI switchbox.

Here is what my picture looks like now after restoring the defaults for the HUD display settings:
