Just purchased a Samsung LE40C750

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/d...02010100&prd_mdl_cd=&prd_mdl_name=LE40C750R2K

Having just purchased this tv and a 1.4 hdmi cable i was excited about playing stardust in HD on my ps3 .
so after i plugged it all in yesterday i expected it just to work after i clicked on the prompt for 3d and activated my glasses and all i got was a black screen with a reduced resolution and clear sound but still no picture .
Also i have tried a 360 elite cable but not sure if that is 1.2 or not :confused:

The features on this tv are brilliant it has a pvr type system built into record tv straight to a plugged in HD through USB also the internet tv is a good add on so is the free view HD as well .
I might just have to send it back if all is not well and ask for a replacement unless im making a noob mistake any help would be greatly appreciated :)

The tv is not plugged into a amp im afraid all i get is a black screen and the res changing to suit the games needs :(
See if sony's new FW tomorrow will fix it if not will be going out and bying a 1.3 hdmi lead just to see before i send it back .

Looked all over the net for a similar problem or a mistake on the owners part and nothing on just a black screen after selecting 3d game mode .

Been through the manual for a guide or sync option for glasses but been told its as easy as turning them on when it prompts which my ps3 screen does .But then all i get is the same black screen .

As far as i know its all set up to go i dont have to adjust my tv set in anyway just leave it standard to the manual .

just tried a lead which works on my friends and it does not work :(
i will put this down to new tech but i phoned samsung up and they said if there was a problem with the set there would be no picture at all , i certainly am not listening to them due to being new tech and the fact i have tried numerous cables and 2 ps3 just in case :p

Now it looks like i will have to send this set back now , looks like im not the only one who has had this problem.
