So you're using the Sony display with your PS3 now? Usually these problems are mostly problems with the console's HDMI or display's HDMI port before cable. As long as you get decent cables around RM35-RM50 regardless of brand since all HDMI cables come from a select few factories in China only. You can trace it via the code on the wire, but if it's braided/shielded then you'll need to look under it. You don't need to worry about signal degration on short HDMI cables like the ones most of us are using (< 2 meters) but for industry or if you're planning to do a home theater room which needs you to pull the HDMI cable long distances (50 - 100 meters), then you'll need to get a signal booster + better AWG cables.

No, you can use external speakers for your PS3. Refer to http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1325066 for the needed accessories.

One - HDMI , Two - Playstation Proprietory A/V port. Your video will come from the HDMI port. Now your PS3 comes with the A/V composite cable right? Yellow,Red and White. So if your speaker's input has the Red and White female jacks then your problem is solved. Just plug those two in. But if your speaker comes with the Green 2.5mm jack then you'll need the Y-Splitter to convert the two Red and White jacks into one Green jack.

The last cable I purchased is Sony Official High Speed HDMI v1.3a cable at RM199. This cable is most stable but still occassionally flicker or disconnected (blackout). Conclusion, PS3 Slim is not compatible with Sharp LCD A66 at 1080p. Set at 720p. Almost all games are running at 720p currently. I have tried out MGS4 at 720p and it looks good and similar to my eyes in comparison to 1080p.  So, don't waste money try any other cables.

@lalalalalalalalalala - u need hdcp ready lcd.. read previous post QUOTE(edwinlcw @ Dec 31 2009, 10:11 AM) You have to check whether or not your LCD monitor is HDCP compliant. If your LCD monitor is not HDCP compliant then you will need to get another LCD monitor or LCD TV which is HDCP compliant. This post has been edited by noobianz: Apr 2 2010, 08:32 AM

In a sad way good to hear I am not facing this problem alone! I am also starting to conclude that Sharp a66 is not compatible with PS3 on 1080p. Will try to get my hands on my cousin's phat version to test and see if the phat version has the same problems.

I just change my display setting to 720p and frankly speaking, i cant spot the difference BUT my monitor still show the message that I am not optimizing the resoution of 1680 X 1050. Why is this so? I dont know whether it will cause issues in the long run or not and its pretty irritating. Can someone help?
I am using Samsung 226BW by the way and use HDMI>DVI conterver.

Such as Game/PC mode in AV, Full Screen/Dot By Dot, HDMI Auto View On/Off, etc. and which HDMI port are you using? What is the HDMI cable brand/model you are using now? I would really appreciate if you could share your knowledge.
