So up until this weekend, I've had my PS3 hooked to my Asus PB238Q monitor for the past couple weeks and it has worked fine, no problems what so ever. I even had my PS4 hooked up to it before that. Then last night, I turned on my PS3, switched my monitor's input to HDMI and what I see are a few flashes of white noise and then a black screen. I knew the monitor recognized the system because it never switched to the "No HDMI input detected" screen.
So i tried a video reset on the PS3, and started it up again. It detected the HDMI connection and i hit yes so that it would automatically optimize the settings. And again, black screen. After repeating this a few times, and messing with display settings, I found that the monitor would only display in 480p. 720p and 1080i would display but with pixels flickering all around, as if it were dying. And 1080p just won't display at all.
So i decided to do process of elimination to figure out where the problem lies and here is what happened:
1. I disconnected the HDMI cable from the system and tried it on my PC, disconnecting the DVI cable as well. Worked perfectly fine, no distortions, no flickering pixels, nothing.
2. I next tried connecting the PS3 to my monitor with a different HDMI cable and the same issue occurs.
3. I moved the PS3 to my room and tried it out on my TV with both the original and second HDMI cables. System worked fine, set up to display in 1080p and there was nothing wrong with the image.
So now I'm at a loss, maybe my monitor and my system had a fight and now refuse to work together? I was thinking of buying a switch box and trying out my luck with that.
And one more thing to note: A couple of days ago, I just came home from school and I tried powering on my monitor but it would not respond. I ended up disconnecting the power cord and reconnecting it just to get it to work. My PS3 was connected at the time. I don't know what happened during the day but I think the outlet might have lost power since my brother did say that our Fios router wouldn't turn on too and it is connected to the same outlet as my monitor and system. Anyways, does anyone have any ideas or should I start hitting up customer service? :unsure:
