This is a long shot but does anyone know how the picture and sound quality compares with a Playstation 3. Is there an improvement?

Depends. For bluray you shouldn't really notice much difference. Although this player does have a range of picture modes and tweaks you can play with. For DVD, I would say yes. The PS3, made for a pretty horrible DVD player. This is much improved with very good up scaling abilities. For audio, the player can pass DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD bitstream out should your receiver support it.

My Playstation-3 went dead-- usual failure modes, I will try to rebuild it sometime. This Sony BDPS6200 IS VISIBLY A BETTER PICTURE, much faster start-up, and vastly superior, overall, to the PS-3.

Bits are bits. The picture quality is going to be identical, as is the sound. My advice is to disable all of the picture & sound enhancement features as they tend to make things look worse; the best way to view and hear a movie is how the director, producer, sound mixer, and rest of the film crew intended it.

As for the picture. This has HDMI 2.0 and can support 48 Frames per second in 4k. The PS3 is HDMI 1.3 and cannot support even 24 fps in 4k. There is a big difference in the bits this will put out per second vs the PS 3 that is why the upscaling is about. You also need to use an HDMI cable that is 2160 frame rate capable and that handles a 27GBPs . Bit's being bits you have to be able to transfer them fast enough. Sound should be the same.

Thanks for your response. So... Is there any difference in picture quality?

I use my PS3 with this TV, I don't notice any input lag. It's a great gaming TV in my opinion.

Hey man, I purchased the Sony HT SS2300 and it sounds really good. I have the blue TOC version of the 850. The system doesn't have a DVD or blu ray player but it is made to match up with your current movie player. I have a PS3 so it worked out well. Good system at a good price.

While I personally do not own a ps3, and cannot answer the question from experience, I do suggest looking at: https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4584/~/hdmi-sound-issues#humOther troubleshooting suggestions include changing the HDMI cable, as it may be defective. If all else fails, do contact ASUS technical support or Sony PS3 technical support.

It has a HDMI input, so it would work with a Ps3 no problem, however it maxes out at 720P, so don't expect top resolution. Also the thing is super loud from the fans. SUPER loud. I would suggest looking at the similar benq model if you are looking for small.

Just replaced mine with Roku 3 - LOVE. Also I couldn't always get the Sony to play in full 760P but no prob with the Roku. Only annoying thing is Roku only has HDMI so you have to have a receiver with that for audio. The Sony had every connector imaginable (as did old Roku, but the new one looks so sweet...)

The choppy sound is only for the first few seconds of the video and then it's clearing up. I'm more concerned about the choppy video. The video plays great on the WDTV though except there's no sound for the first 6 seconds of the video but after that it's fine and video looks great. There's definitely some flaws playing the 60p with the PS3.

I've used it with a PS3 and a PS4 and I'me very pleased with the image quality, latency etc..2 things to not are that this TV, like most modern sets, has a game mode that you should use. I'm assuming that this helps with lag issues. The other thing is that the speakers on this tv are fine but not great. if you like enjoying the sound in your games as much as the graphics you'd be served well by getting a soundbar or a more involved speaker setup.

I found this thread that tells you a way to optimize your PS3 settings for Blu Ray movies if it might help anyone.http://gear.ign.com/articles/938/938051p1.html

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

If you're on PS3 going to PS4 or Xbox 360 going to Xbox One then yes, huge difference; now 1080p from 720p. Hate to be that guy but playing this at 2160p on a computer is still hugely preferable to consoles, doesn't stop me using a controller either! Hope this helps :)

I have a PS3 and it is friggen awesome to play on!!! It has multiple HDMI ports so you can have a satellite receiver, game console, Blu ray player all hooked up at the same time without an A-B switch.

Yeah I have noticed that someone always has a problem with there game consoles. I was looking at my other option and someone was having a problem with their PS3. My primary use would be gaming and blu ray so I am cautious to sink five hundred plus in a system and not have it working fantastic. I probably will still get this one and hope for the best. I hope you figure out the situation.

The sound is actually pretty good, but I'm still getting a sound bar and wireless base. Since this is a Sony system, can anyone give me Sony model numbers that they like the best and why? My TV is the 550 70". Thanks.
