Dell 2707WFP + PS3

Question

Hey guys, very sorry if this has been asked before as I am sure it has been - I did search but only found two threads which both were about dif PS3 problems. Well I just purchased the Dell 2707WFP and connected it up and it runs perfectly with my PC, then I turned on my PS3 using the DVI- HDMI cord that I got with the screen and it doesn't seem to work. It comes up with a message saying 'Out of signal. Cannot display this video mode, change computer display input to 1920 x 1200 @ 60hz' Well to change anything I need to be able to see the PS3 screen.. Which it won't show? I noticed when I pressed a button which was automatically on a game, the game launches fine.. But yea the menu can't be displayed. Thanks in advance for any help.. Also is there any way of connecting speakers/ headphones up to the monitor? Cheers

I am also having a similar problem. I have the 2407WFPHC and when I put in my blu ray Casino Royale and play the movie (after the blue ray trailers, which work fine) it flickers and gives the same message posted above before working. Does this mean that something is wrong with the image i'm getting? Also, I noticed that the ps2 games I play never take up the whole screen--isn't it supposed to with upscaling? I have the upscaling option set for full screen, but it still doesn't work. how can i fix this? thanks

I also have the same problem before. The problem is not with the monitor but the settings (video out) on your PS3.   Inside PS3 settings there is multiple selection. - HDMI - Component - S-video/Composite   Also for the resolutions 480p 720p 1080i 1080p   Depend on where you set the settings on your first PS3 boot. 1st boot usually with s-video/composite cable The settings usually stayed at 480p   Suggestion - If you have component cable try to use them - If not try to use the s-vide/composite cable that come with PS3 - If you see the menu then you will be able to change the display settings to HDMI (this will allow your DVI to HDMI to work) make sure you select appropriate resolutions 1080p (I think is ok with 2707WFP) --> 480p/720p is the save bet just to make sure you have picture.   Thanks
