I have a Dell Professional P190S 19-inch Flat Panel Monitor, as well as a brand new HDMI to DVI cable, but when I connect the two, my monitor recognizes that it is connected, but all I get is a black screen. I already tried holding the power button to reset the PS3, but I am still having the same problem. From what I can tell from dell.ca, the monitor also supports HDCP, so that's not an issue either. Any ideas? Thanks!

Try using the HDMI port instead of HDMI-DVI.

when you switch your ps3 from one monitor/tv to another, you need to reset the display settings, to do this, turn off your ps3, connect it to your monitor or whatever you want to switch it to then hold down the power button for about 5 seconds or untill you hear 3 beeps, then a new screen should pop up asking if you can see this image

There's no HDMI port on my monitor, just a DVI, plus I don't have the cables for it. And, I already tried the resetting it, but I never get the screen asking if I want to change the display.
