Hi

I'm trying to set my ps3 up to my SyncMaster 730B monitor. I'm using an HDMI to DVI adapter that I bought a little before New Years. This monitor is supposed to support HDMI, but all I get is a blank screen. It's definitely picking it up, when I turn off the ps3, the monitor switches back to Analog. I've already tried resetting the video settings by holding in the power button. After that, I pressed x on the controller and got a little feedback on the screen, similar to when a video cord is plugged in, after which a message popped up on the black screen saying "Not optimum mode. Recommended mode: 1280 x 1024 60Hz" Is there any way to get this working?

Update: I plugged the PS3 into a different monitor and got picture with a prompt on the PS3 asking to use HDMI on the monitor. Chose yes, then the screen went blank with a message saying "Input Not Supported." After about a minute or so, the picture came back and was working fine. Went into the video settings through that, and tried to optimize it for a pc monitor. Plugged it back into this monitor and still got a blank screen. I am almost certain this monitor should support PS3 HDMI. If not, I wasted money and 23 days of waiting for this HDMI to DVI adapter.

I've already reset the PS3's video settings a few times by holding the power button. And I made sure the output was set to digital, which is what it is supposed to be set to.

It's definitely picking up the signal. When I turn on the PS3, the screen flickers a couple times. When I press the x button on the controller, the screen flickers again and has a small strip of feedback for about half a second, then the "Not Optimum Mode" message pops up. The cable shouldn't be the problem, it was working fine just a little bit ago.
