DUST Search - Well this is just complete and utter bull:censored:

My TV has only one HDMI port, and I use my PC and my PS3 on this TV, so every time I want to switch, I have to unplug the cable from the PC and put it in the PS3 and vice versa. It's not really a nuisance, I'm not bothered with it.

BUT THERE'S A TWIST

Every time I pull the cable out and put it back in, it gets damaged! Yeah! So now, after throwing one cable away and buying a brand new one because of this, the brand new one is causing me problems aswell!

This is one of the reasons I'm no longer playing Dust, or any PS3 games.

I'm sure you wanna know what the problem is... Well, as the cable gets more and more damaged, the frequency of the screen disappearing for 1.5 seconds increases. This didn't happen when the cable was brand new, so I know it's the cable's fault.

HDMI cables are gold plated apparently, but the gold just gets scratched away and all is left is the metal below it, which apparently isn't such a good conductor of signal, so both the picture and the sound disappear for 1.5 seconds.

Just felt like I had to share this with y'all, perhaps some of you have a solution to this, apart from just not pulling the cable in and out all the time.

If you've read through all this and can't help, sorry for wasting your time. By the way though, this is probably one of the longest posts I posted lol, and I'm not so good at making long posts, so, yay me! \o/

Your TV,is breaking your HDMI cable. Because the HDMI that I use for my Xbox is around 4 or more years old already and is constantly plugged into different things. No problems at all. Either you're using way too much force to unplug your cable or you must be buying crappily made cables or something. KNEEL!,BEFORE THE EMPIRE,KNEEL!

It's not the TV, I only plugged the cable out of the TV once, I kept plugging it in and out of the PS3 and my PC, that's what damaged it. Maybe it really is a cheap cable's fault... I dunno.

It's fine as long as I leave them alone. It is. I'm sorry about the 1 HDMI input on the TV. The post earlier about hooking the PS3 up with composite cable was spot-on, though. If you aren't already playing Dust on SD then you are fu-óking up. Dust can't run on HD without severe gun-game-crippling frame drops. The reduced input lag from the low-res analog signal is extremely noticeable. (Gê¬n+Ç-´)GèâGöüGÿån+ƒ.pâ+n+ín+ƒ. NEVER FORGET LASERS 2015

Plug in the hdmi OUT from your PS4, PC, laptop, PS3, extra PS4 to your RECEIVERS HDMI IN!!! VIDEO signal goes from the RECEIVER to your HDTV AUDIO signal goes from your RECEIVER to your Home THEATER speakers i.e. left, center, right, surround right, surround left, subwoofer or preferably subwoofers. Hope this helps. Seriously visit the Audio Video Science forum to get extra info.
