I've got a strange problem that's popped up, and I was wondering if any of you have seen something like it. When I play a Blu-Ray disc on my PS3, there is a persistent vertical line on the screen. It really looks like there's a crease in the screen similar to the broadcasts of "How the West Was Won" we had for years due to its original filming as a three panel projection.
Basically, if you divided the screen into 5 equal vertical sections, the far right section is the crease on every Blu-Ray disc I play. I'm tempted to say it's a section designed for a menu, and I would love to turn it off so that my entire screen is clear and crease free.
I've done the PS3 firmware update, and I'm using a 1.3a HDMI cable on a 720p television. It's also been asking me to download an update the first time I try to play a disc; should I be refusing this update? Thanks for any help!
