Sony clarifies PSP-3000 screen issue
Sony Japan has responded to customer reports of visible scan-lines being seen on the screens of the new PSP-3000 handheld console.

The updated PSP is said to boast a brighter screen with more vibrant colours and deeper blacks, but some users have complained about scan-lines as a result of the unit de-interlacing images.

A spokesperson for Sony told PSPFanboy: "On some occasions, scan lines may appear on scenes where brightness changes drastically, due to the hardware features of the new LCD device on PSP-3000."

The spokesperson pointed out that the scan lines are more visible "as a result of improving response time to alleviate the after-images on PSP-3000".

However, as this problem pertains to a specific hardware specification, Sony has "no plans for a system software update concerning this issue".
