Playstation 3 Hdmi Issue on My Tv?

I bought a PS3 about three weeks ago and i got a $60 HDMI cable…..When I plug in my ps3 to the tv using the HDMI cable it comes up with the message that says the ps3 has noticed an HDMI connection, I press yes to confirm and the screen goes blank and doesn't seem to work. Can anyone help me or tell me why this is happening?

Suggestion:

You need to configure the video output settings. So if its black on the hdmi use the sd cable to configure the ps3 to the hd settings.
