Bros. Help me out. I bought a new Samsung S27C350H (a 27 inch HD monitor) to use with my PS3 ultra slim but the picture dosnt show up. The monitor works fine via HDMI with my laptop and the PS3 works fine with Sony Bravia and my old 21 inch LCD. To be on the safe side, I went out and got a branded HDMI cable but nothing. The monitor's still blank when I connect. Any help/ideas?

Turn ps3 off. Turn on, then imediately press and hold the power button until system beeps. The system will then come on the screen asking if you want to use hdmi setting. Click yes. Your welcome.
