What is the best HDMI cable to connect a PS3 to a LCD 1080p LED HDTV?
The best HDMI cable is not necessary or recommended. Walmart sells Sony PS3 HDMI cables and you to even upgrade to a higher cost and quality Sony HDMI Cable. That is what I did only because Walmart was out of the PS3 HDMI cables when I got the PS3 went to purchase a HDMI cable. I purchased a Flat Sony HDMI cable for $45. You can pay over $100 for an HDMI cable and still not have the best and not be able to tell the reception from another name brand cable sold for $20. I plugged other devices (Sony Camera, Cable Box) into the Sony BR6 HDTV with Belkin HDMI cables and get fine reception.
Is the HDMI cable for PS3 good?
Connecting the PS3 to a HDTV with HDMI inputs is best rather than only good when using an HDMI cable. It allows a single cable to easily connect with an excellent connection and only a single plug and also allows a sync between the two devices. When I put a disc in the PS3 the TV turns on and switches to the PS3 from my Cable box. If the TV is already on it switches the HDTV from cable over to the PS3 and back when I turn off the PS3. The PS3 HDMI cable sold by Sony is a good quality cable and support all the features of the PS3, namely HDMI 1.4A with 3D video. It is also cheaper than some other HDMI cables that are sold in the TV area of most consumer electronics stores. When I purchased by HDMI cable at Walmart that store was out of the PS3 HDMI cable and I purchased the Sony Flat HDMI cable for a little more. Most named brand cables work fine and you should never pay full retail for a HDMI cable. You do not have to purchase a PS3 cable and many of the other Sony cables work fine. Currently Walmart has the Sony HDMI Cable w/ USB Cable Pack (PS3) for $34.97 and it is the same price as just the Sony 6.5' HDMI Cable (PS3) and without the extra charging cable
How much are Ethernet cables?
HDMI cables vary in price from $8 to several hundred dollars (£5 - £100s). For short cable lengths, low cost cables are perfectly adequate. As the cable length gets longer, the cable quality needs to be improved and therefore the price will rise accordingly. Expect to pay up to $100 for a 20 - 30 feet long cable. It is important that any HDMI cable has the HDMI logo on it as that is an indication that it has been tested and licensed as compliant with the HDMI standards.
What cables do you need to set up new HDTV?
HDMI leads are the cable for HD format. Do not buy from stores. Buy online or you'll expect to pay around £60 for a 2 metre cable.
Where can I buy the best HDMI cable from?
HDMI is a signal interface that carries digital data. As long as the data is received without error, the quality of signal remains identical. HDMI cables that are properly tested will carry an HDMI signal without errors and therefore no cable will produce better results than any other. A fault with a cable normally results in no signal being displayed rather than a poor quality signal. Better quality cables will tend to be a larger diameter than cheap cables and use better quality contacts as well. These will bot contribute to long term reliability but neither will affect image quality in any way.
Are more expensive PS3 HDMI wires better?
Really a matter of opinion and how much you want to pay, but cheap wires that cost as much to ship as to purchase can also have poor or no performance. Stick to something name brand and the new Move and 3D require higher performance and better cables than earlier. I purchased a Sony Flat HDMI cable at Walmart mainly because the PS3 and HDTV were both Sony and wanted Sony for that reason alone, However because they were out of stock for the Sony PS3 cable I selected a Sony flat HDMI cable. Other cables were both more and less than the $45 paid (Both from Sony's other cables and those of other Brands) For your own peace of mind about the connection during the years of use it is better not to be concerned whether reception and other problems are the fault of the HDMI cable.
How do you connect HDMI PS3 to a hd tv?
To use an HDMI cord on the PS3, hook up both the AV multi out cord and the HDMI cord to the TV and turn on the TV to the AV setting. Go to options-display-display options(the first one), and follow the instructions. Once you press "yes" on the confirm settings screen, swith the TV to HDMI mode and see if it works. If it does, unplug the AV out cord on both sides. If it dosen't, refer to the instruction manuals.

Why does your tv have snow on a couple of channels?
If you have "snow" or a fuzzy picture on your TV and you have satellite TV or cable with a satellite receiver box or cable box, you may have your TV tuned to the wrong channel. Televisions need to be "tuned" to a channel or sometimes input (i.e. HDMI, etc) in order for you to view your programming with satellite or cable receivers. Contact your pay television provider, they can talk you through it over the phone.
