I have PS3 connected to Samsung 52" LCD TV via HDMI. Blu-ray discs play beautifully but SD discs are play with significant black borders. I don't believe its the TV since Blu-ray and cable TV plays just fine. Please help me to view SD DVDs in a normal way. Thank you in advance.

Are the DVDs 16:9 or 4:3?

16:9. I do know my aspect ratios and it is not I don't know the difference between flat, scope or even 1.33:1. Not exactly a Joe 6-pack here. The problem is that screen is shrunk so that there is a black BORDER on top, bottom, left and right.

On the PS3, is the BD/DVD Upscaler under Video Settings set to Double Scale?

The Double Scale setting slightly windowboxes DVDs, even if they are 16:9.

You should be able to toggle through these settings while a DVD is playing by hitting the green triangle button, and then selecting A/V Settings from the on-screen menu. To exit these menus, hit the Circle (Back) button until they disappear.


Let me know if this fixes the issue.
