How to Adjust PS3 Settings to Improve Netflix

Beginning late in 2010, subscription movie company Netflix began offering streaming video to owners of the PlayStation 3 (PS3) video game console. Streaming video allows users to watch videos instantly through their Internet-connected consoles directly on their televisions. As a result of this process, Netflix has become the largest single source of Internet traffic, accounting for 25 percent. However, some users of this service complain that they don't receive a good picture when they access Netflix through the PS3. Fixing that problem can be as simple as changing the resolution.
