Dell 2007WFP is HDCP enabled. This will not work on a Non-HDCP display since the digital signal sent out of HDMI port is in encrypted form and can only be decrypted back by a HDCP compliant device. A HDMI to DVI cable is just an adapter, not a converter. Since Both HDMI and DVI are directly compatible except for the difference in connectors they just put a DVI on one end of the cable and HDMI at the other and no signal conversion is involved here.

Anyways Here are the steps I did to use this cable with 2007WFP.

1. I plugged in both composite and HDMI to DVI from the PS3 to my display and started the PS3.

2. Since I was already using the composite, when it booted up it detected the HDMI cable and asked me whether to switch to HDMI automatically. This is where most of the people have problems. If you allow it select settings automatically, it will default to 1080p and just give a black or green screen. So select cancel for automatic configuration. It will just give the output from composite.

3. Go to display setting and manually change the output mode to HDMI and confirm. It will ask whether you would like it configure automatically. Select no.

4. Now switch to the DVI Input in the monitor. Th display will probably appear be greenish or a corrupted in some manner. Ignore that and go to the display settings and select the output mode again. It must probably be already selected to HDMI and when you select it it will give 2 options 1. Automatic 2. Custom. Select the custom option and you get a choice of HD resolutions starting with 480p. Here Select 720p (second option) and confirm. The display will go blank for a moment and then come back again without any corruption in glorious 720p. :P

thanks a lot. this will work then. i had never tried his ps3 on a hdcp compliant monitor. but mod_to_odd had tried it on soulfires lcd which is same as yours & he told me that even he got the green corruption thing. so i guess this method will work on his ps3 also i feel.

thanks. will try it & let u know.
 
Guy's I figured out the green screen issue thats coming with the PS3. As mentioned in some of my previous posts, I have managed to get 720p on my Dell 2007WFP using a HDMI to DVI-D cable. But initially for switching to HDMI I was greeted with a green tinted screen and manually changing the resolution to 720p, I got it working.

But my problems did not end there as I found out later. I found that If I try to play a PS2 game (PAL 576i/576p resolution) the green tinted screen game back making the game unplayable, I searched for solutions extensively on the internet and found that other PS3 users have the same sort of green tinted screen when trying to play movie DVD's or PS3 games on Dell Monitors and many HDTV's and theres no known solution.

So I decided to experiment around with it and I found that the green tinted screen comes up on the Dell 2007WFP when the resolution is set to 576p. The Dell Display has two colors modes (accessible through settings OSD option) RGB and HD YPrPb for DVI Input with RGB being the default. When ever we try to play a PAL PS2 game or movie DVD, the resolution switches to 576p and somehow the color mode is also switched to HD YPrPb which is giving a green tinted display. After starting a PS2 game, I tried changing the color setting to RGB mode and voila, the proper colors were restored back.

The only problem is that this switch to YPrPb mode occurs everytime you try to play these media, so you have to keep switching the monitor color mode back to RGB everytime.

Hi all. New user here, and I know this is an old thread... but I'm hoping someone cal help me.

On my 2007wfp, I can't find the settings mentioned above. In my Color Settings OSD menu (or anywhere I can find) I don't have a RGB - YPrPb option.

My Color Settings menu has only PC Mode vs Mac Mode ... and choices between PC Normal/Blue/Red/Custom.

Can anyone clarify where the setting for RGB vs YPrPb is?
 
The color Menu is context sensitive. You must have invoked the menu while the signal selection is set to D-SUB VGA. Change it to DVI and then invoke the menu, you will get the options I am talking about.
 
Hmmm... I was trying to find the entry while using DVI.

To clarify, I wasn't trying it while connected to a PS3. I don't yet own a PS3 but will soon, and am hoping to use my 2007wfp as the monitor... so I'm looking for any issues that might come up, so I know how to deal with them if they arise.

But, while connected to my PC via the DVI connection, my OSD does not show the options mentioned above.

Perhaps it's only available when connected, specifically, to an HD device like the PS3?

Yeah, you may be right since the menu as I said is context sensitive and the options changes according to the context.
 
OK, thanks.

Just to clarify, you are finding that setting in the COLOR SETTINGS -> PC CUSTOM COLOR section of the OSD?
 
Hi Everyone,

I have a 2007wfp and I'm looking to also hook up my PS3 I'm not so much worried about the video portion as I am the audio - I just have my standard 2 speakers with the one headphone output - I'll probably end up going HDMI to DVI for video and then using the std composite cables for the audio.

I rather not get another pair of speakers but I'm not sure how to get the audio out of my computer speakers? Any Ideas? (using my current setup)? I know I could easily go out and buy new speakers with an audio in but I don't really want to do that.
 
^^^ get a 2 RCA female to 1 3.5mm female converter.that way u can connect ur spkrs to the PS3.
read the first few posts u'll get ur answer.
 
Yup, as hellgate said, the answer to the audio setup is right in the first post. You just need to get a Dual RCA to 3.5" adapter or cable.
