Help, Connecting Ps3 to VGA monitor

Hi, Just brought a new monitor, after reading online it has DVI only to go in store, get it home and findit doesnt =( Shoulda checked the comet specs rarther than a different online site =(

The monitor is : http://www.comet.co.uk/shopcomet/product/481165/EMPREX-22-inch-WIDESCREEN-TFT?cm_sp=FeatureEnd-_-Computer_Monitors-_-position2

My question is can I get a ps3 - VGA cable (seen some online) to play games at 720 on the vga monitor? Im a bit confused about reading some HDCP limitations =S

So far i tried getting a hdmi - dvi - vga adapters but that just says no input signal and black screen =(

Any help would be appreciated!

HDCP stands for High Definition Copyright Protection (I believe) and it is implemented into all HDMI connections. Most DVI connections, while digital, do not have HDCP and therefore quite frequently have the same issue you do. VGA is an analog signal, which definitely doesn't have HDCP. The way HDCP works is that if the device outputting has HDCP (in this case, your PS3, which does) and the device receiving the signal doesn't (your monitor, which doesn't) the signal is blocked. In short, this will never show a signal via the VGA connection.

If there is a way (and I don't know of this particular transition) to convert the component video cables (red/green/blue) to VGA, which are both analog, you should be able to display the signal as there's no HDCP. I will say that the way the PS3 works can oddly make issues, but 720p for games and blu-rays should be no problem, however expect DVDs to drop to 480p because upscaling isn't allowed in non-HDCP connections.

Hope this helps!
