New PS3 owner. SDTV. But a nice 24" LG 1680 x 1050 LCD monitor. I'm wondering if an HDMI to DVI connector works very well. Anyone else try this? Any success?
Also, I'd need a suggestion for the audio...my comp speakers just take a line-in plug...

Before you get that HDMI to DVI cable, make sure the monitor is HDCP compliant. It's a new security standard for Blu-Ray and if your display does not have it, the PS3 will not work with the monitor. You will just get a black screen.
As for the sound, check Radio Shack for an adapter with red/white RCA audio inputs and a 1/8" audio output. That should work for your sound. I use one with my 360's VGA cable.
My monitor is HDCP compliant and, although I'd never hear of that before, I'm glad it is :) And that audio solution sounds perfect. Thanks a ton. Now I've just got to get those damn expensive HDMI cables....Brinne
Don't spend a ton on HDMI cables! Since HDMI is digital it's either on or off, unlike component which can have interfierence. A $5 HDMI cable works the same as a $105 one. Check around online for a good price. Many people recommend monoprice. You can get an HDMI to DVI cable for $11.49 there:
