To recap for those that didn't read it earlier, I had a problem where, whenever the PS3 switched between a game/movie/XMB at 1080p, the image would become scrambled, and I'd have to switch to a different input, then back again, in order to fix it. Not a huge problem, because it was easily fixable, but it was indeed annoying.
Today I did some good ol' fashioned hands-on troubleshooting to isolate the problem. First I tried plugging the PS3 directly into HDMI. I'd avoided this at first (running instead to DVI1 using a HDMI>DVI cable) because of the "flickering" problem and some scattered reports of questionable 1080p support through the HDMI (see the Audioholics review of the TV for an example).
Anyway, I plugged it into HDMI this morning. No scrambling problem. But, it did exhibit ye olde flickering on/off when I tried playing GTHD. No flickering on Motorstorm (720p), so it seems to be specific to 1080p signals. I don't think there's a fix for this problem short of a firmware update, so I scrapped that idea pretty quick.
Then I tried moving it over to the other DVI port on the opposite side of the TV. Bam, problem solved. No flickering (which never seems to happen on DVI for some reason), and no more scrambling. I only played with it for about a half hour, but it had no problems at all in switching back and forth between games, movies, anything. In and out of the XMB, no problems at all.
So what I thought was a software/firmware issue seems to be a simple hardware problem. Something in the DVI1 port on my TV doesn't like 1080p signals. Luckily, the TV has a second DVI port that doesn't have the problem, so it looks like I'm golden.

Great news! Congrats!
If so, then why wouldn't they just enable it from the get-go.
