Why is there so much static with my blu-ray experience?

Great Looks For Less
Okay, I am almost positive it isn’t anything to do with blu-ray, but it might be so I won’t rule it out.
I have a ps3, but my tv is a few years old and it only has a DVI input, it is 1080i. Since the ps3’s hd out is hdmi, i bought a HDMI to DVI cord.
I bought 300 on blu-ray, and I have noticed ALOT of noise on solid colours such as bright blues and greys, and also skin colours/ oranges.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? it is pretty distracting for me because I am always trying to prove blu-ray to everyone, but this static noise digital mosquito stuff makes all the great scenes in HD look less great.

Did you look up blu-ray on line to see if you could find some answers? There are several sites for it on line.

The first suspect is your actual cord, and then the connection. Consider interference from other devices nearby. How long is your DVI-HDMI cable? Was it a “fancy” brand? I rarely buy into the hype about super expensive cables, except when there is an issue like this. If you can’t find a great hdmi-dvi cable, then get a great HDMI cable and then use a gold plated connector.
One more thing, look into HDMI 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 compatibility issues. Send me your TV model, and all facts about your cable for more help.

I would FIRST see if the COMPONENT VIDEO connections looked just as BAD….and if they don’t, it’s still 1080i…..
Then I would take my HDMI connection and attach it to my HD satellite or HD Cable box, add the Audio RCA cables and see if another source causes the noise too….
That will tell you if the Blu Ray is the noise generator or the TV is the noise generator….
Of course DVI technology was pretty primitive. That’s why they converted it to HDMI after a couple years…..
Component has been ROCK-SOLID reliable since Day One….
