hey i have the same problem...it seems the problem occured when I moved my s2409w to my friend's apartment to hook up to VGA. when i brought the PS3 home again and hooked it up to HDMI, the monitor doesn't recognize the PS3...the monitor detects an HDMI connection but there's no display. very strange.

last time this happened I was messing around with the HDMI settings. Even when I did the hold-down-turn-on to reset the video settings for the PS3, there was still no video. i thought it was the PS3's problem so i tried it on my friend's LCD TV and did the same thing to auto-detect the HDMI connection and it worked!. after moving it back to my s2409w, it worked again!

so basically, i'm not sure whether it's the PS3's problem or the s2409w problem.

does anyone know if it needs a firmware update?

Wow, didn't know that these kinda things could happen! LOL I'm never doing that!
Thanks for the info, it was helpful and something to keep in mind,

This is problem is bound to happen if your set-up is not stationary and always connect the PS3 to different system. It's a handshaking thingy.. Video setting reset-up will always solve this problem..

its HDCP crap i bet

Any idea why it happens? I just got mine too.

sorry bro..still don't know why..
after almost three months,,I'm getting used to it..

oh well. at least it's prettier than my old tiny crt tv

you can actually just directly connect your ps3 straight to your sound system, without going through the monitor. no fadeout problems there.

my "sound system" is a cheap-ass 2.1 sonicgear

hahahha. same here man! armageddon 3! LOL.

budget gaming FTW!

Maybe try asking around in Dell's forums. I found this thread there http://en.community.dell.com/forums/p/19241208/19415611.aspx

so have you guys actually fixed that sound fading problem? or it can't be fixed at all?

How do you actually do that? without goin through the monitor?? using the av straight to the PS3???
I havent got the PS3 yet but i just ordered this Dell 2409..but will be getting the PS3 very damn soon..cant wait to get my hands on MGS4..

How to actually counter the problem of the audio fade in/out thing...I'm just using a simple 2.1 altec lansing

GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR LINK.

i got my ps3 today thinking...hmmm lets play games. Setup was fine, everything is normal no problem....HDMI all ok. Then suddenly black screen on my S2409W. Google, panic, seems some ppl have the problem but not solvable. Hard reset also no help. Turn off monitor also no help...until i read the link above....

UNPLUG YOUR MONITOR, THEN RESET PS3 (hold down power button until 2nd beep when turning on)

Problem solved.....for now.

Its a SONY.

Guys... I having the exact same problem with the above poster... no solution seems to work. Now my PS3 only works on other LCD TV but not this monitor... anyone can help?
