Here's an jumping E30 for your troubles. Anyways...

My family just got a new HP Pavilion 22fi monitor. The thing I like most about is the HDMI feature, so I can play my PS3 while switching to computer mode. At first, the picture showed everything: XMB, GT6, etc., but a few days later,the screen doesn't project anything, all it shows is the monitor status flickering. Resetting the PS3 wasn't the solution.

Then, I tested it on a Sharp 3D TV, and it worked perfectly, no problems whatsoever. Plug it back to the HP, still no picture. I tested it on another HDMI cable, but nothing showed up. I immediately thought the HDMI plug of the monitor was broken. However, came yesterday, I decided to move my PS3 to my room with a Sony HD TV. Initially, it was running as usual...

...until when I was using GT6 photomode. I captured a photo, and the screen turned black and stayed that way, the same effect on the HP monitor. I tried resetting and switching cables, but the damn thing won't project!

Now, how can I fix this?

At this point I'm surprised you haven't gone mad, that's so weird.

1080p and upscaled 1080p on Xbox 360 looks almost identical. At least to me, anyway.

They're consoles. They all look dumpy. Ditch the both and get a PC.

Have you tried a full reset? Hold down the front power button till it beeps several times and it defaults all the settings. Had to do this whenever I changed TVs with mine. Not a big deal because it takes 30 sec to make the settings right again. Might be worth a try.
