(!!!I've posted this on LCD Flat Panel Displays also, sorry for that but I don't know if it's a TV or HDMI problem!!!)

Greetings from Greece! My first post on this forum I hope you will give me a helping hand.
I have bought the Sony 40X2000 before 5 months and I have no backlight or any other viewing problems in any condition. My problem is a different one and I think I am the only one in the planet that experiencing it.
The PROBLEM
I connect my TV with the Sony DAV-DZ810W home theater system through a Monster HDMI cable. I am loading a DVD movie and I press play everything is fine until...SUDDENDLY-RANDOMLY-STRANGELY! The TV powers-off like I’ve pressed the Green Power Button, on the remote and then again powers-on by each self. This happens in a second. The DVD movie is not interrupted or anything by the TV behavior. If we assume that a movie is more or less 90min long, this TV power off and on, can happen between 6 to 10 times.
Now the funny thing is that last night I connected the Sony Amplifier\Dvd Player (it’s a combo) and the TV with a Scart cable and I was playing movies for about 3hours, and the TV was stable as a rock. So it must be the HDMI. The HDMI cable??? The HDMI output of the Sony Amplifier\Dvd Player??? Or the HDMI input of the Sony 40X2000???
Please help in any way you thing possible. Has anyone experienced a behavior of this kind?
Thanks in advance

It is an HDMI problem after all. I replaced the Monster cable with a cheap no name cable and the problem reduced to almost zero.
