Question Ps3 Video Game Issues

I have an 80gb PS3 and when I play some games they seem to look very dark at times even when its not a dark scene and not clear. Do you think its the HDMI cable im using? Im currently using one I got from monoprice.com for 2 dollars back in August. Maybe a Monster HDMI cable would solve these problems.

Maybe you need to set the contrast/brightness of the PS3 or the TV. A Monster cable is no different from a $2 one and is the same as a coat hanger.

Change the Brightness/Contrast Controls on your TV

As Peter Said, Monster cables are no different to Low Priced ones

Which games are we talking about? Some are very dark and most games themselves have adjustable brightness in their options settings.

A lot of games will have a brightness control as well. If you had a faulty HDMI cable you would likely just have no or intermittent picture.
