Hansel or other PS3 owners...strange blu ray problem..

[theoldone]

Was wondering if anybody else ran into this.

When I play a Blu Ray disk sometimes the colors are way off, i.e, people's skin tone looks like they are smurfs...very blue.

Was funny the 1st time I used a BR it was "Avatar" and the humans and the Navi(however you spell it) had switched skin tones??

/if I turn it off, which is a fuckin chore since apparently you cant skip to the main movie on BR's, the color will go back to normal.

I was going to buy a PS3 for the blue ray, but I've been hearing all kinds of stuff about the quality of that player so I said fuck that. The clowd is coming ngr's....you can kiss hardware acceleration/storage goodbye. lol

The image is processed by the HDTV, not the player, so that would be the first place to start troubleshooting. All the player does is read the disc and send the signal to the TV. HDMI 1.3 on the PS3 allows color enhancing with RGB Full in the options, but that's about the only image-side responsibility it has over what you see. And it's doubtful it'd make people look like smurfs lol.

What's a clowd? lol if you're refering to cloud computing it's still a ways off, at least here. We don't even have the proper bandwidth structure in place yet to support it, let alone it becoming affordable/accessible enough for the masses. Ask most people, especially on PC gaming forums and they still don't even trust it over tried and true physical storage that they own, and can access whenever they want, online or off. Look at the fiasco Ubi-shit caused when they revealed their online-only policy.

There is plenty of documentation/reviews backing the PS3's ability as a Blu-ray player, both launch and Slim models-

Burning Questions: PS3--The Blu-ray Movie Experience - PCWorld

Best Blu-ray players - CNET Reviews

Picture Quality: PS3 -vs- Standalone's - Blu-ray Forum

The best thing about it is it's more "future proof" than stand alones due to firmware updates. I lol when people who spent hundreds more on a stand alone were left whining when Blu-ray 2.0 came around making theirs obsolete. Not so with the PS3. Now when stereoscopic 3D comes around it'll be ready for that too.

I've never had a problem with the PS3 as a Blu-Ray player. It sounds like an issue with your A/V receiver if you're using one...or your TV if you aren't.

Never have a problem with dvd,game or videos...just blu ray.

Sony sound bar receiver and Panasonic 50 in plasma. all hook ups using hdmi.

Not saying the ps3 is a bad blu ray player...review after review shows that its a good if not the best one.
