Alright, so I have an HP w2207 computer monitor that I have used since late 2007/early 2008 as my PS3 monitor. Yes, it's HDCP compliant. Yes, I've used it a TON before as my monitor. Plug a DVI>HDMI adaptor in and I'm all set... press and hold the PS3 power button... and here's where I now run into problems I NEVER had before.
When prompted to choose whether to output via HDMI, I always just get past the screen, change my settings and play for hours.
Now, though, for whatever reason, when I select YES I get a frequency overrange message. And obviously when I hit "NO," it doesn't work... even though the DVI signal still says ACTIVE on the monitor. So neither option works even though I can still see the initial PS3 screen prompting me to choose Yes of No for HDMI.
Here's the thing... the last time I did this was maybe 14 months ago. Now when I try, the damn thing just won't work when it worked hundreds of times before. So my question is this... were there any settings added via firmware updates that make HDMI>DVI connections to PC monitors difficult or impossible? Why is it that I'm suddenly unable to do something I used to have no trouble doing?
