So.. I'm a recent PS3 (latest version, link to which one is below) owner and have been impressed with the gaming experience compared to that of an Xbox 360 which I also own. I really dig the LPCM 7.1 and DTS 5.1 audio playback whereas xbox can only do DD 5.1.
But what I find concerning is the video playback. When I watch a bluray, I notice that the picture is very grainy. Audio is amazing but the picture quality bugs me. Last night, I watched Breaking Dawn Part 2 (HDX) on Vudu via PS3 and was very disappointed in the quality. It too was very grainy and lacked detail. At first I was blaming it on vudu. Then I tried watching the video with the VUDU app that is on my Samsung TV (55" ES8000) and notice a HUGE improvement in picture quality. Was considerably less grainy and the image was smooth and sharper with better detail.
I also tried the same title on VUDU on Xbox and notice is was too better in quality.
So I tried watching a Netflix movie (Mirror Mirror) to compare the quality between my TiVo premier and PS3. Both are able to stream 1080/24p. I also notice that Tivo was producing a better picture quality as the image was sharper and less grainy.
Can anyone shed any light as to what is going on?
Thanks in advance!
