trying to play PS3 via HDCP Monitor...

I tried to play the PS3 via HDMI to DVI on my Acer AL1916W but then read about HDCP and then found out my monitor wouldnt work with my PS3.

So I went out and got myself a HDCP monitor. A Dell 207WFP http://www.amazon.com/207WFP-20-1-inch-Aspect-Panel-Monitor/dp/B000LZARRU 

So when I plug my HDMI to my PS3, and my DVI into my Monitor, I select digital input for my monitor, change the settings on my ps3 to output via HDMI, nothing happens.

Please help as I can not stand my 19" Piece of Sh*t Sears TV..

Disconnect the PS3 from the TV and from "Standby" (red light) hold the power button down for 5 sec.emitsu97

i have the same monitor and i was thinking it up to my PS3 ( wen i get it)

i hope this monitor works or im screwd (hard)

It could also be your cable. I have the same setup, instead with a different monitor. I use dvi-d cable and use a dvi to hdmi adapter.David0BE

I just realized something.  You said you used an HDMI to DVI cable to connect to your monitor and selected digital input.  If your monitor has an HDMI port then that would be the digital input.  You need to select the DVI source on your monitor if you're using that cable.emitsu97

Sorry for being a noobzor quad poster..

But I just got off the phone and dell said it was a monitor defect.

They are sending me another one at no charge. Hooray!

WOW, I just got home from school and BAM, THERE IT WAS! OVER NIGHT DELIVERY.... Seems like alot of monitors might of been defective, they only suck the persons dick who complains about it!... Haha a silent recall... They shipped it overnight probally for me to stfu..GenBen666

Damnit! I set it up and exact same problem, only works in 480p, I guess its still better then 4:3 and 480i. Hey at least I got a newer monitor thats not dusty!, at no fee to me.

Its still alot better then my old tv, I guess i can use this until I can save up for an ultrasharp, or even a costco brand HDTV.

Thanks for all your help.
