PS3 to Dell 2209wa Monitor Display Problem
Hi, so I today I tried to connect my ps3 to my dell 2209wa monitor. I used a female hdmi to male DVI-D dual link adapter.
The problem is that I cannot see anything on the screen. I've tried the ps3 video resets but the monitor either is all black or doesn't detect the input, and yes the monitor is HDCP compliant so no issue there. Also the adapter works and hdmi cable work since i tested them both. I am genuinely confused at this point and don't know what else to do. Please help.

Verify that the S2209W DVI in port is functional by testing it this way =
Computer video card DVI out port --> DVI to DVI cable --> S2209W DVI in port
The PS3 must be sending a 1920x1080 (or 720, not 1080i) signal out to the S2209W. The DVI port on the S2209W is HDCP compatible. The issue is with the cabling you are testing. You need to find a straight HDMI to DVI-D cable. Not an HDMI to HDMI cable to a HDMI to DVI converter to the monitor.
