Dude, I replaced my plain vanilla HDMI cable with a $89 gold plated grade 1 Monster cable and I get a super sharp crystal clear picture now. Don't be a dipshit who spends good money on good gear and skimps on cables.

For another $89 you'll double your sharpness!
Everybody here knows that the most expensive doesn't mean it's the best one.

#3 - a quick google on "hdmi cable quality" gives http://www.theps3faq.com/?q=node/10
Also from
http://www1.electronichouse.com/info/specials/hdmi_basics.html :
"Digital cables are either compliant or they are not; they either work or they don't. Compliance is given to a specific speed rating, and the default speed that all HDMI logo'ed cables meet is 75MHz, which corresponds to 720p or 1080i video resolutions.
Unlike analog, there is no such thing as an HDMI cable that makes the digital audio or video data come out better than another. If the 1s and 0s make it to the other end, the cable has done its job, period. "
