what is the handshaking problem? ._.

have you try manually select input at the lcd monitor? hdmi pc/hdmi av

ur model is viewsonic vx2433wm rite?

also do u have a spare hdmi cable?

yea, the model is viewsonic vx2433wm. i've tried selecting hdmi pc/hdmi av, but still blank. and no, I don't have any spare hdmi cable.

Everytime i chose HDMI on my PS3, the LCD looks like got some activities on it. But still, it only shows blank screen

HDCP handshaking in a nutshell means to authenticate both equipments are HDCP compliant.
I'll put this short and simple:

HDMI/DVI equipments needs to go through the HDCP check before it can be shown up on the TV or in your case, the monitor.
So basically the monitor needs to "shake hands" with the PS3 to authenticate that it is HDCP compliant. They do it through the cable you are using of course.

I'm using the VX2433wm myself and I can confirm 100% that is HDCP compliant.
So this isn't the issue here.


I suggest you return the HDMI cable and ask for another one.
I suspect it is the cable being faulty as there are alot of shoddy made HDMI cables out there now a days.

buy my hdmi cable la

Sell me RM50 i buy

I've bought a new HDMI cable, but still the same problem occured.
I really scared if the LCD itself is faulty.

Can you tell me step by step to connect the ps3 to the LCD? ._.

I got china cable I is selling for RM50 (not the cock type also la)

The steps are fairly straight forward.
- Connect HDMI cable to the monitor.
- Turn on PS3 and it should automatically detect 1080p as its native resolution.

There aren't much steps really.
Have you tried using the memory recall option on your monitor?

have u tried to connect the PS3 to other LCD monitors/TV using HDMI? see see if picture can be displayed on other HDMI devices

Problem fixed. Turns out the LCD is faulty. It can detect other HDMI devices, but not PS3. lol.

So, I change to Asus VH242H. Need to add some money but it's worth it ;D

thx for helping, guys ^^

hihi, if i wanna DL the movie in PSN

when i press into it, it show that
this content cannot be accessed on your account

how to sign up to access to that??
can any sifu teach me?
kinda noob in PSN T_T

@roduo86: I think you have to go under Network -> Account Management -> Activate System -> PS3 -> Video. Something like that.

i ady activated, but still showing
this content cannot be accessed on your account

i see from website, to access the video PSN
have to click the button on left upper corner VIDEO.
but my PSN dun seems to have, or i have to update my system?

roduo, movie content is only available for US residents with a legit US IP. Even with proxy you won't be able to get anything from the store.

So its nothing wrong at all with your PS3.
It's just how the service is.

In the end of the day, Sony did all these to save themselves from legal and licensing issues.
