I tried searching for something similar to help me with this problem but couldn't really find anything.

I've connected the PS3 though its HDMI with the help of HDFury.
Now, I'm only able to get a 720p output.
Whenever I try to set the resolution at 1080i or 1080p in the PS3, I get the signal out of range message.

The Display Monitor Info on the 2007FP menu shows that the resolution is 1280x720 @ 60Hz with optimal resolution at 1600x1200 @ 60Hz.

Can't I get the Dell to scale down a 1080p or 1080i PS3 signal to fit my display like it does with this content on my PC?
 
Yes I know.

Mines the 2007FP though with a native res of 1600x1200. I was just wondering whether I could get it to scale down the 1080p input or force a resolution higher than 1280 x 720 which is where I'm stuck at.

Nevertheless, the 720p image is still sharp in 4:3 display mode.
 
So why are you using a HDFury? Couldn't you just use a $5 HDMI to DVI converter? I thought the Dell had HDCP and all. If you only have a VGA port available a DVI switch my be a better option.

I've noticed that when you connect a PC monitor to the PS3 through HDMI/DVI the PS3 will detect the monitors resolution and use the monitors native res for the OS/menu system. Games will still run at whatever fits inside your res though.

With 1080p on your computer your computer is doing the work to down scale it to that resolution, the monitor pretty much just displays what you give it. I have seen some 20" 1680x1050 (Sceptre) monitors advertise compatibility with 1080i but I don't think Dell advertises that model being capable of that.
