Why won't my PS3 connect to my Sony monitor?
Solution 1:
I don't think it's possible to connect an SXGA (1280x1024) monitor ratio to a PS3. In the PS3 manual under Video Output Settings it says the HDMI connector supports the following formats:
NTSC: 1080p / 1080i / 720p / 480p
PAL: 1080p / 1080i / 720p / 576p
They are all widescreen formats with an aspect ratio of 16:9. Unfortunately your older computer screen with an aspect ratio of 5:4 cannot display that; unless it somehow supports picture scaling or adding black bars at top and bottom.
