The PS3 Display Problem

[Gerkargeo]

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:

I'm confused. Did you purchase a new TV AND turn off the ps3 upscaler? I will try turning off the upscale option, but seeing as that only affects ps1/ps2 games, I don't expect any improvement whatsoever on this ps3 game. As far as your TV is concerned, yes, not all TVs are affects by the problem -- and yes this is a problem. So if I were to purchase a new TV, what's to say that TV will or will not be impacted by this problem? Also, the minimum system requirements and recommended settings do not call for a new TV purchase.
