2407FPW-HC - component inputs not working whatsoever

Question

Hi all:

Hoping for some help here because I'm about to throw this monitor out the window.

I've hooked 4 different devices up to the monitor by component (HD Cable box @ 1080i and 720p, DVD Player at 720p and 1080i, XBOX360 at 720p and 1080i and my AV receiver w/ all devices hooked up to the receiver and passing the signal through) - NONE of the devices work on the component inputs.

All I get is a pure white screen, or sometimes a black screen, and then the odd time a message saying "signal out of range" - I've tried everything from unplugging the power cord and hooking the cords up one by one, to messing with the settings - nothing works.

Is my monitor defective or... ?

All PS3 owners using component. You must find the setting in the PS3 and change it from YUV to RGB.

If you tried another component cable also, then exchange it. Wouldn't be the first time the component inputs were defective on a 24'er. Message Edited by all the facts on 10-12-2007 04:17 PM

Actually the problem was with an X360 - and a DVD player, and a set top box. I got the monitor RMA'ed and the new one works fine :)

(still ghosts. haha)

but I am keeping it. there's no better 24" solution on the market, so I'm just dealing with it and dealing with the ghosting.
