Wipeout HD looks awful now.

[Dan Locke]

So, I recently got a large, flat-panel TV, and Wipeout HD looks TERRIBLE on it. The top and bottom halves on the screen will be out-of-sync for a few frames, or the framerate itself will stutter, or the game itself will run at a low framerate. This is especially noticeable on the Fury tracks.

What's going on here? I also got the new update right before playing it for the first time on the new TV, but I doubt that it's at fault here, since it's supposed to do nothing besides adding 3D support.

Is it the HDMI cable's fault?

I believe that OBH was going through a similar problem. Could just be your TV lagging behind the awesomeness.

It's odd because the problems described sound like things I started experiencing since Fury came out. I hadn't imagined the TV could have anything to do with it at the time, but will be interesting to hear others' suggestions. I remember z1r0rEi bought an LED backlit TV and found HD unplayable after that, but can't recall exactly what he was experiencing that was putting him off.

Have you tried an alternative connection type and/or cable, or turning off all the TV's processing effects so see if there's a difference?

What type of TV did you have before?
What is the TV you have now?
Have you set the resolution of the signal coming from the PS3 to the closest of the TV's native resolution?
+ the other things said here.

Thanks for the suggestions and explanations, guys; I'll try some of these ideas out when I get the chance.

Oh, yeah; I just remembered - Modern Warfare 2 runs as smoothly as ever. I really have no clue about what's going on here.

Sometimes when an update comes out it can screw with your video settings.
It's usually when they have either added some functionality or renamed/ slightly altered a video output, it's PITA and has happened more than once over the last few years.

I've found that the easiest way to sort it is to reset everything, I mean right back to basics and then go through the whole box ticking exercise again.

Another cause of the problem that might be occurring is if you are running you video signals from the PS3 via HDMI through a Surround amp, then into the TV.
I've lost count of the number of times this has been the cause of this problem for other people.
Fixable, but lot to troubleshoot if that's your setup.

Easiest way to test if this is the cause of the problem is to run the video out of the PS3 straight into the TV via HDMI, and then output the audio via optical [need to also change this in the PS3's settings] into your surround amp.
