^ you already listed the difference of the new 40GB. early impressions indicate the 40GB runs a little cooler and less noisy and have lower power consumption.

i dont think its a glitch... i dono... tv is Phillips 47 inch... using HDMI cables... i think it has something to do with the auto-adjust for the resolution... from 1080i to 1080p or something...

why don't you try to just set 720p only. disable 1080i and 1080p and test if this will happen again.

there's some cases called HDMI "hand-shaking" where the device need to communicate with the display, causing screens adjustments.

Hope you guys can help me out on this.
Im using a Dell 24" computer monitor to hook up my PS3.
If Im using the HDMi cable to plug in, how and where do I get the sound from?

Thanks in advanced

Hi convict. I'm also using HDMI to connect my PS3 to my Dell 2407WFP. smile.gif

For the audio, you need to get yourself a Y-splitter cable. Like this:

Then, connect the composite cable to the back of your PS3, the red and white audio to the Y-splitter, and the other end of the Y-splitter to your speakers. That's it! laugh.gif

Just ask any computer shop for it. Must have one. Only RM10 I think. Good luck! thumbup.gif
