2709W (A02) HDMI detect problem and other questions

Question

I connected my 2709w (A02) to my PC (ATI HD4850) w/ DVI (port 1) and my PS3 w/ HDMI. When I change the input source from DVI to HDMI w/ the PS3 started up already, the monitor simply can't detect the signal right and the screen was blank. There is a HDMI icon on the screen left-top conor show up about every 20 seconds or so. The screen is still blank, no sound from HDMI audio too (has connected speaker to 2709). I was able to get the screen up by the following ways: 1. Power cycle the monitor or the PS3 2. re-connect the HDMI cable 3. use the OSD to 'Auto-select' input source Everytime when I need to switch from DVI to HDMI input, I have to do 'Auto-select' after the input source tageted to HDMI. It is very annoying. It works perfectly fine when switching to DVI from HDMI. The screen shows right away. Do I get a defected monitor or the firmware is just wriiten like this?   Other questions: When the monitor display a black screen, there are 'light - bleed' at all four coners. It is not very serious but visible enough to be noticed. The brightness is at 10. Is it normal with the 'light - bleed'? About the analog 5.1 audio output, I got no sound when playing Blu-ray disc. The disc has only Dolby Digital audio tracks. However there is sound with Linear PCM. Question: Does the monitor has a Dolby Digital decoder build in?

Hi joedoa, Have you worked out how to get audio when watching Blu-ray? I'm having the same problems and have no idea how to fix it :( Any advice would be appreciated :) Cheers, James
