PS 3 Screen Tearing

[towman]

What is the refresh rate of your display? 60 or 120Hz? Also the Bravia engine is constantly updated, so there are differences between generations and models too.
Also I just switched to component cable from HDMI recently, so now I'm not sure about the the output set to 1080p or 720p, I'll check tonight.

My tv is a 37" sanyo native at 720p and i'm getting none stop tearing. I play at 1080i and it tears at both resolutions. It's the demo. When I play the demo on my xbox 360 it is smooth as butter.

I am downloading a software update for my TV but by what other people have posted it's not my TV.

I don't think it has anything to do with the tv. I just hope the game is optimized for the retail release. Either way, it's only mildly annoying (something I can live with) and I'll be getting the game for PS3.

A 60hrtz hd tv will experience tearing because the of the tv. The refresh rate isn't fast enough to keep up with the frame rate and graphics in the game and this can create tearing. Now whether or not this is the case I can't say. I know my last Tv was a 50 inch HD with a refresh rat of 60 hrtz and I had tearing on it while playing certian games. Now I have a 60 inch with 120 hrtz and the tearing is not in the those games anymore. There are a 1 or 2 games I still have some small tearing in and I would say they are in the game and not from the tv. It could be either. But your Tv could be making it worse.

I stand partially corrected. LOL.

Any idea why we would see it on the PS3 demo, while xbox'ers aren't seeing it at all?

Ok I just tore into my manual and my screen refreshes at 60hz. I hope it is the demo though because I have never seen any game that I have do screen tearing.
