I connected my PS3 to my monitor via an HDMI to DVI cable, which does get a signal but only shows black. If it helps, a photo of my monitor helps
Then the PS3 (HDMI connector) or the cable will probably be broken. You can try the analog port
The HDMI plug is not broken because I had previously connected it to the TV and with the cable I also connected my PC to the monitor
Then only the monitor can be defective
