Hello all,

I'm trying to hook up my sons 20gig PS3 to his Samsung 226bw through a monster DVI-HDMI cable. Once everything is hooked up and I turn on the monitor, I get the "analog/digital" scan screen and then it just blinks. Has anyone hooked up one of these LCD's successfully to a PS3?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Well, for some reason after restarting the PS3 about 20 times it actually worked :rolleyes:

However, the next dilema is to get sound. Does anyone know what type of converter I would need? it's next to his PC, so is there anyway I can use his PC speakers with the PS3 somehow while sending video through the HDMI cable to his monitor?

Thanks again.
 
I don't believe its HDCP compatible.. if its not.. which you should check into... it will never work across HDMI
 
Part of this monitors selling point is that its HDCP ready ..as is the PS3.

Also,

Its called a "hand shaking" issue. Basicly this happens because the monitor must send over its HDCP encrypted keys, sometimes this "hand shake" doesnt always work out well and one side or the other drops the keys causing just a flicker of a screen. There really isnt anything you can do other than just leave your PS3 on all the time ..otherwise be ready to start and restart certain times.
