2 Different HDMI cables giving me 2 different sets of settings

I didn't have an hdmi cable when i bought my ps3, so i borrowed my brother in law's rocketfish hdmi cable, as he currently didn't have any use for it.

Everything is ok - my ps3 detected resolutions of 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.

This morning, i installed another hdmi cable given to me by a friend, as i had no intention of keeping the rocketfish cable. The display on my tv never came up. I googled for an answer and users from other online communities had said to hold down on the power button for about 10 seconds upon startup (to refresh the display or something?). I did that, but with the new cable, it would only automatically detect 480p (i even tried restoring my factory settings with this new cable).

I got frustrated and installed the rocketfish cable again, and without a doubt, it detects 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.

Is it me, or is there something seriously wrong here?
