Bad Settings or Cheap Cables?
I've been meaning to ask this for ages but just never get around to it. In the fall I purchased a Samsung LN46A650 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz HDTV and have been using my PS3 as my Blu Ray player.
I really love the set but no matter what settings I try I see to have the edges of charters blur when they move past stuff past or when an object moves fast. I have visited the thread for the TV at the AVS forum just to see what the recommended settings are. I complied all the best settings for each device type and printed out a huge list of settings. I have been fumbling with the settings for some time now and I still can't get it perfect. When I got the TV I also got a good deal on HDMI cables but I am wondering if the cables are just shit and causing the issue.
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome because after having the TV for months I am out of ideas.

What's "edges of charters"?
Very doubtful it could be your cables. Cables causing motion blurriness wouldn't be possible even with analog, let alone digital.

What source is causing the blur?
Unless the cables are damaged it is not the cables. It is a poor source, sharpness up too high or some other type of setting. Even with that I personally find the 120 hz sets to be distracting.
You may need to set up different settings for each input/source.

I have a variety of settings for my PC, gaming and movie sources. The Blu Rays from my PS3 are the problem. I really don't watch over the air HD broadcasts that much so I haven't noticed an issue while watching anything other than the Blu Rays. The problem is not noticeable all the time but I can understand the problem might pop up in something like my Lost Season 4 set since people are always moving around in the jungle but when I noticed the problem during the lawn fight scene in Stepbrothers I figured it was time to seek the help of the forum.
I'll tweak a few more things and experiment with some of the other settings that were mentioned and recommended on the forum since everyone things the cables are not the issue. I have never been into the Monster Cable hoax/BS but figured maybe this one time I should of spent a bit extra.
