Hello: FiOS is in the house now, for phone, TV, and the internet. All three work, so far so good. I also upgraded the computer, adding a big 28" monitor. That is fun! It does 1080p. The monitor was also relatively cheap ($500, but I have seen it online now for $450). If I take the HDMI wire from FiOS, and connect it to the monitor, I see a program on the screen for a few seconds, then the screen goes gray. I can still hear the sound fine. FiOS puts out signals as 1080i, not 1080p. Looks like there is a unit out there that will convert on the fly a 1080i signal to a 1080p for $1500, which would be an utter waste of cash. FiOS also serves up a 720p signal. My standard definition overhead projector can display the signal - what ever it is - without a problem. The monitor works for a moment, then goes gray. Any idea how I might get the monitor to show what is on FiOS, hi-def or not? The behavior is the same on digital as well as analog channels (low numbers, >500). Doug
