    Does your PS3 have the same settings ON? Are you watching a video or playing games on the PS3? Cuz you might have to disable that feature in the settings.

    I personally haven't used the HDMI-in feature much, cuz it's not compatible with psjb. The screen doesn't come up on the R3 upon PS3 bootup :(

    Might be a crappy HDMI cable causing a re-handshake

    But the cable works fine when I plug the ps3 into my regular external computer monitor via hdmi to DVI.
