anybody could help me on my setup? before this i was playing my PS3 on my LCD TV..

then now i bought Acer Monitor X203H for PS3 in my room..i also used the HDMI to DVI converter..

the problem is:
1. it says it doesnt support the input..i cant view the PS3 menu..but i can play games when it loads..
2. when i hook up my speakers to the Audio Out of the LCD Monitor it doesnt have any sound at all..even if i dont hook up my speakers, it also doesnt have sounds..the LCD has built in speakers btw..

any help would be much appreciated..
*
1. Your acer x203h does NOT support 1080p... please reset display and untick 1080p and 1080i... set it to 720p (thats why you can play games but can't see the PS3 XMB menu.

2. DVI does NOT carry audio, which you use HDMI to DVI converter.... You have to output sound either thru composite cables or optical to your speaker system.

guys i've been looking around for this answer for a while now, your help would be greatly appreciated.

If i am using my US PSN ID, and i log in and play a game , for example Fat Princess. When selecting to play Online, will the game look for servers nearest to me or primarily first in the US since i'm using an US PSN ID?

Or if i am using my M'sian PSN ID and play Fat Princess, would the game search the nearest servers to me first ? 

I'm asking because i'm using my US PSN as my main account and logged in quite alot of trophies there already, kinda don't want to switch. But if playing multiplayer games like the upcoming modern warfare 2 and killzone 2 online and the game will match me to US servers FIRST due to my US PSN then i will switch to a M'sian PSN. But seeing as i will lose my trophies iw ant to make sure first.

Thanks guys.

im also using US account as main psn id

thing is some games like kz2 allows us to choose to connect to any region (asia, US, Europe, middle-east) in the warzone options.

psn account is separate from game servers...

Shahreza2000 thanks for your reply. And yes now i remember you're right. However some games like Fat Princess doesn't allow that choice and i'm just wondering if anyone knows?

Does anyone know if the new upcoming Modern Warfare 2 will allow u to choose? i Can't remember if the first modern warfare or the World at war call of duty has the option to choose whcih region servers.
*
if some games doesn't have, it means it has centralized the servers ... its like you'll be able to play anyone on the globe..

the disadvantage for us is that our connection is so-so... lag is another big issue...

the 1st MW... used to play a lot with HK, thai and SG players...

hello all,

Just need some advice on which region of PSN account that i suppose to create and play game with?
*
1st priority, create MY psn acc = malaysia boleh

2nd priority, create US, JP, UK psn acc - to access demos, themes, dlc... etc

by creating an main account, you can play any games and connect online to any game servers worldwide

Hi guys, i have download a demo .pkg format file to my PC.
How can i install it to the ps3?

Thanks

firstly u have to download the demo on psn store, activating the download on the ps3 xmb.

you have to set up PS3 proxy server gui on PC.

Plz read on frontpage of FAQ,

Its under PSN
Q) The PSN d/load speed is very slow. How to install demos/game patches using PC aka proxy method?

Hi currently connecting my ps3 to LG-42LG53FR ....via cheapo HDMI cable (braided though)

problem is i cant set max reso to 1080i only to 1080p.....

when i connect to 1080p...the screen will go blank (for testing) then only the the accept menu will come out n flicker for 1 second b4 return to the display menu..so means cant render at 1080p..........

what could possibly be the reason?..thanks
*
max res 1080i? 1080p is the max res for the lcd tv hence FullHD... misunderstanding here, 1080p > 1080i

for testing on 1080p, does the the xmb shown on tv? if yes, then save the setting.

the flicker is normal thing if u didnt select the intended res, will go back to default res.... 30sec for u to decide

hi all.....

Beginner here..

I've read thru all the thread..& unfortunately got lost..so straight to the point here.

1) When I browse thru the XMB ...suddenly it went blank..after few second it shows back..then..it went blank again for few second..& this keep repeating itself until I got fed up & shutdown the system...but..
2) if I play BD..the above never happen..?
3) When I check the TV properties during BD playing..it shows 1080p + 24Hz..is this affecting the picture quality when I'm watching thru PS3? & not BD player?

Anyone can help me or advise me on what to do? your kind assisatance appreciated....

what lcd tv model u using?

I wonder abt some hdmi cables that are incapable of displaying 1080p hmm.gif.. work fine on 720p/1080i display

HDMI Licensing, LLC announced that cables would be tested as Standard or High-Speed cables.

* Standard (or “category 1”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 75Mhz or up to 2.25Gbps, which is the equivalent of a 720p/1080i signal.

* High Speed (or “category 2”) HDMI cables have been tested to perform at speeds of 340Mhz or up to 10.2Gbps, which is the highest bandwidth currently available over an HDMI cable and can successfully handle 1080p signals including those at increased color depths and/or increased refresh rates from the Source.

http://www.hdmi.org/learningcenter/faq.aspx#112

i've checked my hdmi cable box, says High Speed...

I'm not too sure.
Sometimes, it may be the HDMI silicon in the PS3 being the fault.

A full system reset may fix the problem, but don't bet on it.

also it could the the lcd tv prob too hmm.gif

any of you experience no output from the HDMI port?

i've tried every tutorial on resetting the video setting and its still not working..

it pops out video on normal tv using the red/white/yellow cable..

and also i've tested the hdmi cable, its working fine..

my monitor is dell 2409 and its working fine also..

does that mean the HDMI port is gone?

please help.

thanks.

Want to ask if there is external cooling fan kit for PS3 Slim like the one for PS2 slim. I'm planning to get PS3 soon. Been reading about PS3 slim overheating and yellow light of death (one reviewer on Amazon claim that his unit exploded. I don't believe, but still a bit scared) and want to know if there are preventive measures like fans for the console. If got, where to buy.

ps3 slim is still viable choice...

i dont think ps3 will explode anytime soon (u believe one, instead of many ps3 users out there enjoying their games)... as for ylod on slim... too soon... the new ps3 still considered quite good compared to old ones

u just need a good place for the ps3...
