I go hdmi to dvi so i know it can be done.

1st tho you need to make sure your not setting it at too high a resolution my monitor won't go to 1080 so have to set it at 720p or I wont see a picture.

Try pressing and holding the power button to reset the display where it will auto dectect the hdmi connection.

HDCP means that your monitor can do high definition something like that, however your ps3 should be set at 720p so that it will work with the screen tell me what brand your monitor is and model number ill find out for you pm me or something

I have a source button on my monitor, maybe try pushing that because it is set up to detect a computer rather than HDMI

Thats my guess if you've already set the PS3 to output in HDMI and check if all the connections are secure.

360 is component, no HDCP there
it's the HDMI that needs HDCP, maybe tell us what your monitor is
