How to hook PS3 to Computer Monitor ?
 

Hey , I have a 24' LG Flatron W2452T that I would like to connect with my PS3 so I can play on it. Is my monitor HDCP because I know you need that for the PS3. My monitor has a DVI-D and D-SUB output . How can I connect my PS3 to the monitor ? I heard you can just buy a HDMI to DVI-D cable, but how can you get sound ?

Thanks !

I use a DVI to HDMI converter for the screen and then use the AV cables for sound. Plug them into my receiver and from the receiver out to the speakers. THen on the ps3 you have to select output sound with AV. Hope this helps you out

If you have a newer receiver unlike me, you can also use the optical cable

If you dont have a receiver, I think you could probably use the AV cable, get an adapter that will plug into http://www.rueducommerce.fr/hifi/ima...fo/xl/HRCA.jpg then get a 3.5mm adapter and plug it into your speaker..

Whats exactly a receiver ?

Sorry , not really smart in this stuff :crybaby:

its an amp but for home use, you hook up speaker too
if you gonna hook up to a 24" might as well get some computer speaker and hook them up to your ps3

I have a pair of Logitech speakers that I already have hooked up to my computer, is it possible for the PS3 to play through these speakers ?

yes you will need this http://www.qvs.com/prodimages/RCA1V-FFG_LR.jpg and this too lol

Does anyone know where I would be able to get these and what they are called ?

Are there any other options ?

dollar store FS Best Buy and Monoprice.com.

i have my xbox connect thru HDMI cable, for sound i run that into my 5.1 surround sound that can accept RCA cables..

I just check FS and BestBuy's site and dont think they have it.
Anyone else know where I can get 3.5mm Female to Female Jack and 3.5mm Male Jack to Red/White AV adapter locally ? If not locally , could you please link me to site ? Thanks

I have an extra HDMI --> DVI cable, along with the cable and adapter for sound thru ur logitech speakers, pm me ill give u both for $10 ^_^

pm'd

for the audio, you can get a cable that has female RCA -> female 3.5mm, any computer store should be able to get it. then in the PS3 audio settings, select the RCA for output (I think it even shows a picture on the screen) and you should be good to go.

For the audio cables, just go to RP Electronics.

shoulda got a hdmi output monitor. now u need a converter. quality wont be up to par to just a hdmi cable. I do the same thing with hooking up my ps3 onto my computer monitor but I have a samsung t240 monitor. Optical cable to my logitech z5500 for sound.

^ that is not necessary true, tbh.. you probably won't even notice the difference at all.

It depends more on the monitor/tv's output capacity and not the connection. Both HDMI and Component can handle 1080p so I can connect my PS3 using component/DVI to the TV in my living room and still get a better picture at full 1080p Vs. the PS3 with HDMI connected to my 720p TV in the bedroom.

let me guess, you think price = quality with cables too?

if that's the case lol my monster dvi to hdmi cable is better than his random hdmi cable!? :thumbsup:
