cashman,

Let's take a look at the forum rules - especially the ones about no multiposting or thread bumping. A member should know better.

So you're saying that a regular hdmi cable will not work with the ps3?? It has to be ps3 specific?

I bought one for C$ 69 plus tax form BB at the City Centre. But it was worthless. Now I have bought Monster. It over a Hundred but it's worth it.

why bother with 720p ? get 1080p thats whats a ps3 for :P 2nd yes it has to be PS3 specified otherwise how would you plug in one end to the other????? like any console they modifed one end and the other end look identical to any cable , if you truely want a tv then this is the best tv ever and costco is the best store for their incredible return policy . http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.asp...p=C&ec=&topnav=

hell it just droped price what this is a lcd but not just any lcd,this is the first lcd that has gone tro breaktro on lcd technology why? simple cuz its blackness is soo detailed and the way blacks are soposed to be ment motion blurr is a thing in the past with this tv and fianly its supports all resolutions from 480 to 1080p and not only that but it UPCONVERTS all resolutions to 1080p . and fianly what sets this tv a nice deal? costco return policy is 100000x times better then circuit city or best buy , how it works? simple buy it use it for 5 yrs (tech is better by then lol) return it in 5 yrs and get EXACTLY what you paid for not a penny less it can be 3 months 3 yrs 5 or even longer!!!! trust me on this one this is the best store and this is the best flat panel thats affortable that compares to CRT TUBE quality

You can use any HDMI cable for the PS3. It has a standard HDMI port which is not modified in any way. I use the Silver Serpents from bettercables.com but there are good quality cables from monoprice and other online vendors.

Here's a link to a good picture of the HDMI port - it's a standard HDMI port and any HDMI cable can be used for it:

Here's a picture of the standard HDMI connector - it's a perfect fit for the PS3's HDMI port:
