http://shop1.outpost.com/%7BqjzWVQEFfq3UPVbzjgDGPw**.node1%7D/product/5440859?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

i just bought this monitor today and was wondering if i can play ps3 on it...the resolutions it supports are: 800 by 600, 1024 by 768, 1280 by 600, 1280 by768, 1280 by 1024, 1400 by 1050, and 1440 by 900

That's a computer monitor, not a tv, so no it won't work.SPD_WeBmAsTaH

why do you keep telling people this? yes it will work if your monitor is widescreen just goto walmart buy a hdmi-dvi cable and there

that guy tried to tell me that also and now im on my accer monitor instead of my sd tv don't listen to this ****

Um yes you can play your PS3 on a computer monitor, but you need an adaptor and I'm pretty sure your monitor has to support HDCP, which I don't think this one does.

its not worth playing the ps3 in a 19".. and it won't work on that monitor..
try to get ATLEAST 22" 32 if you can.. imo .. seriously you'll regret paying for a 19" monitor :?expanded

I play my PS3 on my 19" monitor and Idefinitely don't regret it, I even have a 32" HDTV to play on if I want, it still much better than a SDTV if you can't afford a HDTV.

well i bought the monitor specificily for the pc but its a pretty good monitor and i just wanna know if i can play ps3 on it....whould i be able to play games at 720p or are they just gonna go to back to 480 how does it work....and wont a hdmi to dvi cable work?Krayzie_Bone99

Well the main thing is the monitor needs to be HDCP compatible, then you need a HDMI - DVI cable or adaptor and it should run at 720p; mine does and it is a 19".

i dont get it why does it have to have hdcp...why cant i just do hdmi to dvi

lol thats a computer monitor how the hell you gonna play games with that plus were would you connect it to the ps3?

More than half of the people who posted on your topic don't know what they are talking:

Check your manual if your dvi input is hdcp compatible. If not, you cant use a hdmi to dvi cable to connect it with your ps3, cause it wont work. People who say that all widescreen monitor are hdcp compatible are talking ****. You can also connect the ps3 to your vga (d-sub) input. You only have to buy a 30$ cable(price is includes shipping). Go to ebay and search for "ps3 vga". There you'll find a cable that you can use for a wii and ps3. I use it myself and it works great. You'll get a 720p image quality. Not many people know that this cable exist. The only problem is that you can't watch normal dvd's with it. Check on youtube and search for "ps3 vga".The ps3 will thing its using a component cable.

Through the DVI port with an HDMI to DVI cable which will display in 1080p if the monitor supports it and is HDCP compliant.

i second this dude!

listen to him he know wat he is talking about...

also seriously... some of the idiots out there who are like u must play on at least 22 inches... not worth playing on 19 inches... seriously with alittle bit of search (i cant be bothered to link) u can find a guide on the best viewing distance for different sized monitors... ofc ur not gonna be sitting 3 meters away while playing on a 19 inch monitor... ur gonna be sitting half a meter away... in which it will be fine...

TC if u want to focus on gaming and not blu ray movies... however if u want pure HDMI with 1080p and u have the money, here is the monitor i have 24 inches by HP

Here's the weird thing about monitors. They are a great deal in the 19" range because they are cheaper than HDTV's of the same size, yet when you hit the 24"-26" range like the one you posted, you can get a pretty good 32" HDTV for the same price as the 24" monitor. The HDTV won't be 1080p, but I've read that you can only really start to see the difference between 720p and 1080p at 47" or larger. Plus the 32" HDTV has a VGA input so it can be used as a monitor also.

Basically, if you have $150-$200, get a monitor. If you have $500-$600, get an HDTV.

oh! true true!

still its a pretty sweet looking mon though... but i get wat u mean about the difference only showing at around 47 inches.. but wat about if u watch alot of movies... wouldnt a 1080p monitor mak a difference?

Wow, I'm getting hate mail more than half a year later because I didn't know about this stuff then. I didn't even have an HDTV at that time so I had no friggin' idea what the hell went with what. Relax people, I didn't know and I wouldn't have been the first to not know. Besides, most people on this post corrected me so who cares, problem solved. Getting hate mail after such a long time is really stupid and childish, getting it at all is even worse.SPD_WeBmAsTaH

If you didn't know, don't say it won't work then...

i hooked up an hdmi cable from my monitor to my ps3. im sure if there are more cords involved but my main problem is HOW DO I SWITCH FROM PC TO PS3 AND BACK AND FORTH AND SUCH? im lost
