You know what's weird.....I use my PS3 at home on a 23" LCD TV and the picture quality is great. No problems, no glitching up, no stuttering. I take my PS3 to my dad's one weekend to test out his new plasma screen and I start noticing all kinds of crap on the image and stuttering. There was tons of jagged edges and it just looked really bad. I thought it was my dad's TV but after reading this, I guess it is the PS3. But since I only have a small TV in my room and I rarely see glitching on mine, I'll keep my PS3 until I get a bigger TV. Thanks for the report.

Thanks for the info Henning.

As a consumer that will get into the bluray market eventually, I'm glad to be waiting it out and see what the reviews say (not to mention price drops).

It looks like I'll be waiting for the Panasonic DMP BD50 coming out soon. If the reviews are good after a few months I'll seriously look at it.

The reason they gave: "Increasingly, the Blu-ray performance of the PS3 doesn't really stand up to videophile scrutiny.

I'm not a 'videophile' geek by any means, but I know what I want in hi-def clarity. I've been satisfied with my 'viewing' in front of my 46-inch Samsung 1080p, playing blu-ray via PS3. This 'scrutiny' is a MATTER OF PERCEPTION vastly different for every person.

By far... STILL the best BANG for the BUCK.
My perception.

That's the thing though, it's inconsistent. PlayStation 3 might work perfectly for you guys, and that's great. But if other owners are reporting these kinds of problems, I think it's good that consumers are aware that these kinds of problems exist.

I agree too. Evidently the Panny is not without its own problems. CNET has posts/opinions from numerous consumers complaining about compatibility issues with Sammy displays...

Just sayin'...

Samsung displays are problematic for some reason. Mostly due to HDMI issues.
