I just bought my new PS3. I have sharp TV (model: LC37A66M) with full HD support bought last year only. I got a PS3 and hooked it up to my Sharp 37 inch LCD tv using an HDMI cable. I have blinking or blank screen issues and can return to normal and play a while blicking happen again and sometimes the screen go blank and up again. I try the same HDMI cable to my xbox, no problem. So it is not HDMI cable issue I think. And I don't think it PS3 problem either since the shop has demo to me before selling the unit to me. The strange thing is my TV and xbox don't have this issues. So is PS3 or Sharp TV issue??
I face this problem before. U must use Category 2 HDMI cable (High Speed) for ur PS3, not Category 1 HDMI cable (Standard).C&P from Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Cables]
Cables
Although no maximum length for an HDMI cable is specified, signal attenuation—dependent on the cable's construction quality and conducting materials—limits usable lengths in practice.[57] HDMI 1.3 defines two cable categories: Category 1-certified cables, which have been tested at 74.5 MHz (which would include resolutions such as 720p60 and 1080i60), and Category 2-certified cables, which have been tested at 340 MHz (which would include resolutions such as 1080p60 and 2160p30).[54][58][59] Category 1 HDMI cables are to be marketed as "Standard" and Category 2 HDMI cables as "High Speed".[1] This labeling guideline for HDMI cables went into effect on October 17, 2008.[60][61] Category 1 and 2 cables can either meet the required parameter specifications for interpair skew, far-end crosstalk, attenuation, and differential impedance, or they can meet the required nonequalized/equalized eye diagram requirements.[58] A cable of about 5 meters (16 ft.) can be manufactured to Category 1 specifications easily and inexpensively by using 28 AWG (0.081 mm²) conductors.[57] With better quality construction and materials, including 24 AWG (0.205 mm²) conductors, an HDMI cable can reach lengths of up to 15 meters (49 ft.).[57] Many HDMI cables under 5 meters of length that were made before the HDMI 1.3 specification can work as Category 2 cables, but only Category 2-tested cables are guaranteed to work.[62]
