Problem connecting PS3 to 2407WFP through Component

Question

Hi, I purchased a Sony component cable in order to hook my PS3 up to my 2407WFP monitor and I'm having problems. When I hooked it up, I reset the PS3 display settings by holding the power on button, then started the PS3 and nothing would show on the screen. I hooked up the component cables to a TV and it was working fine. The revision of the monitor is A03. I don't want to get a HDMI-DVI cable because I don't like switching cables as I also use it as my main display for my PC. Also, picture-in-picture is another important reason why I want component.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

KGB1,

So, the PS3 + Sony component cable + TV work.

* Power off the monitor
* Disconnect all cabling from the bottom and/or sides of the monitor (especially the power cord). Disconnecting the power cord releases all circuit latches "resetting" them
* Press and hold the monitor power button down for 5 seconds
* Reconnect only the monitor power cord and either the #1 blue VGA or #2 white DVI (not both)
* Power on the monitor
* The PC should already be on. The monitor should auto sense the #1 blue VGA or #2 white DVI. If it does not, press the Input Select button and change to #1 VGA or #2 DVI
* Reconnect your device to the monitor components
* Power on that device
* Press the Input button and switch to the component setting

Thanks Chris, that worked like a charm!

On another topic though, when I go to set my resolution as 1080i, it works, but the screen flickers like an old CRT and the quality is worse than 720p. When I switch it back to 720p, the flickering goes away and I get a nice solid, high quality picture. I thought 1080i was supported through component, what gives?

Thanks again.

The 2407wfp-HC do not have deinterlacing filters. This explains why 480i and 1080i do not look good. AFAIK, there is nothing you can do!

Looking back at all of the documentation that came with the monitor, I was able to determine that it's a 2407WFP, not 2407WFP-HC. 480i, 480p, and 720p all don't flicker by the way - just 1080i. Thanks for your input though.
