Hello All,
Quick question, I just got my 60inch XBR2. I have it connected to my comcast cable box through a rocketfish HDMI 4ft cable.

I was watching some TV lastnight and I noticed that sometimes it looked like I could see sparkles (i dunno know, dots?) mostly on white color images. Is this due to the cable? I just picked that one up at best buy because I needed on and it was the cheapest. I think I will be picking some up from monoprice or bluejean and transfer the rocketfish to my smaller 26inch in my bedroom.

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Eddie

Usually sparkles are a sign of a bad cable or poor connection, return it for another one.

Was it just one channel or several? If it was more than one channel, I agree with the above. Return the cable and get another. Defective cables are bound to happen. Getting "something better" probably isn't necessary. You just need one that is correctly built. However, be careful with any cable you get. There are a lot of fragile wires and connections in it that can break if you bend or twist it around to much while hooking it up.
