what's in a cable? PS3 and Sharp xv-z21000 solved

Below I had posted a problem getting 1080p to work with my PS3 going to the Sharp DLP projector. Just for anyone who might be having this type of problem watch out for your HDMI cable.

I went to the HT store where I bought my Sharp and they suggested that the problem might be my HDMI cable. I had a 5M length Van den Hul which I figured must be good...NOPE. I ended up going with a shorter length (3M) but a cable that they said was HDMI 1.3 standard (I guess, meaning that it'll transmit the 1080p signal) and it is working just fine.

And yes, I finally see what the big fuss is all about with 1080p. Pretty amazing really.

According to a store I trust (who sells Cardas and Wireworld among others) manufacturers are now "rating" their HDMI cables with a "p" ending in the designation across various lengths. I just didn't realize that not all HDMI cables are created equally...
