Problem with playstation 2 on 2407wfp
Hi everybody,
I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced this problem. I am using a 2407wfp rev A02 with a playstation 2 on the S-Video hookup. If I put the monitor into S-Video mode before powering up the playstation, it usually works fine. However, if while playing the playstation I change the monitor to dvi mode, then change back to S-video mode, the image gets chopped up with the right 2/3rds of the image shifted to the left 2/3rds of the screen, and the left third sent over to the other side of the screen and somewhat scrambled. This happens when "wide mode" is set to either 4:3 or fill. Setting wide mode to 1:1 fixes the image, but it becomes a very small picture in the center of the screen. Going back to 4:3 or fill from 1:1 gives the same messed up image as before.
Resetting the playstation usually (about 9 times out of 10) fixes the problem, but it's a pain to always reset the playstation if I need to check my e-mail or something. Not a big enough pain to return the monitor, but a big enough pain I would like to fix it if there is a known fix. Thanks in advance for any help.

What cable are you using to connect the Playstation to the 2407?

You might try this Playstation 2 component cable. I will ask everyone on the board if they have tried them.
