Sorry this wasn't answered more promptly. It probably fell between the cracks.
The fact that HDMI might look more grainy than (I assume) a component connection can be based on several factors, but I would not think it was the cable (unless it is ridiculously shoddy). All well constructed HDMI cables regardless of price can handle HDMI 1.3 just fine. An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable and it has nothing to do with 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and beyond. This is just ad hype.
The cause of the grain? It could be the way the TV processes component and HDMI (or the receiver if such is applicable). Even the PS3 might be slightly flawed but I think that's not very likely.
I hope some of this helps and once again, I apologize for the delay.
