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.

Your PS3 will have two ports. 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.

ooo now i know it ahaha..thanks alot for the tips i guess i need to get the y splitter due to i remember my speaker is green jack which is edifier m3200.. if like this i think i can go buy the lcd this weekend then haha..

Thanks alot!

I understand your frustration. I also have the same problem with Sharp LCD A66. I had purchased 5 HDMI cables! I'm thinking to sell all my HDMI cables at garage sales. Anyone interested?

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.

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 use a66 without any problem in 1080p. lucky me

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.

You are indeed very lucky. May I know what settings you use on your TV? 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.

will inform u later. i'm not at home right now but current setting that i rememer i use default setting for pic mode (GAME). i use 32" a66, how about u?.

I'm using 42" A66. Can you also check at the Advanced setting whether you put DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) to Low/High/Off? Many thanks.

ok i will... maybe tonight

Thanks for your time on your LCD screen shot.

However, my TV still flicker sometimes and blackout once in a while.

Just out of curiousity, which HDMI port are you using now and also what manufacturer/model HDMI cable you are using?

Thanks again.

^i'm using port 1, sony hdmi cable...
try reset your setting, lcd and ps3.
