I need a bit of help here with my ps3.

i'm trying to connect it to my monitor (LG Flatron w2361v) via hdmi, but i'm not getting an image.

i tested the ps3 and hdmi cable on a friend's monitor and it worked fine. does anyone have experience with this particular monitor or have any suggestions? any help would be appreciated.

I'm going to guess your HDMI input is one of the rare, non-HDCP compliant ones. Sucks, but you might have to buy a new display.

hmm, is there any way to test this or anything else that could be the problem?

im being a bit impatient as i won't be able to test the ps3 or hdmi cable on another monitor until later in the week, but according to this,

my monitor is hdcp compliant.

any suggestions would be much appreciated.

edit: would an hdmi to dvi converter do the trick? would i still be able to output in 1080? i'm getting mixed answers on the net

Your PS3 might be set up for use without an HDMI cable, or on a setting that your current TV isn't capable of. Try this: turn on both the TV and PS3, hold down the power button on the PS3 until you hear another single beep (PS3 will not turn off), a screen should pop up saying something about setting the video and audio using the HDMI cable.

In other words, try the easy video cable reset option! Good luck!
