Title: Need Help connecting a PS3 to an Arcade Monitor
Post by: Hituro on February 04, 2011, 11:15:04 pm

So I purchased the console adapter off of Ultimarc's site.  I have a WG D9800 Arcade Monitor.  I hooked everything up, and the Arcade Monitor won't even recognize the PS3.  I'm not sure what to really do.  Has anyone ever hooked up a PS3 to a WG before?  If so, can you please share what you did to get it working?

Try this:

Get out a TV and set it up next to your arcade monitor.  Hook the TV up to the ps3 and go to display options in your PS3 menu.  Scroll down to the option for AV/Multi.   This is actually the SCART/RGB option.  Select 480p and continue.  When it says it is now going to test the video mode you will need to quickly reach around the back of your ps3 and switch the video connection from your TV to the Arcade monitor. 

If you have video on the arcade monitor then you can proceed!  If not the try using the 480i mode instead.
