Sony TV help

[ Edited ]

I just got the Sony ex500 lcd tv and when i hooked my ps3 to it the other day it looks like its having some problems but i don't know if its normal for this tv what's happening is if the TV's backlight is lowered and i spin in a fps game i see black horizontal lines all across the screen about 2 inches apart from each other but when i turn up the backlighting it goes away idk why its a brand new tv i also had a black out on it when playing a game on the tv it totally blacked out for a couple a seconds.do i have a bad tv or not should i bring it back?

Re: Sony TV help

What type of cable are you using on your PS3?  Is the cable fully connected and set in the HDMI port?  Sometimes if a cable is loose, it can cause things like what you are seeing.  More often than not it happens with the cheaper stuff. 

 

I own the 40 inch EX500 and I have found that the ambient sensor tends to make the TV far too dark for my tastes.  I keep the sensor off for all modes.

 

You never know, you might have a bad TV.  It can and does happen, especially with mass-produced items.  Can't get it right all the time.

Re: Sony TV help

The connection was the first thing i tested and it wasn't that im using the ps3 hdmi cable.the ambient sensor is only good for watching the tv in the dark imo.im going to try another hdmi port and see if it still does it if not then its probably a bad hdmi port.this is the tv i got http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/sony-sony-bravia-32-1080p-120hz-lcd-hdtv-kdl32ex500-kdl32ex50...
