Pc monitor with Ps3 and speakers

Okay, so i've been looking at this monitor Benq G2400W, and since it has the right connections i could hook it up with my Pc and Ps3 at the same time. Anyone got this monitor with their ps3, because i'd like to know how it works with it. Oh and since the monitor doesn't have built in speakers i'd have to buy them, so what kind of speakers do i need to work with ps3 and my Pc?

Thanks

Guys just even link me a decent tutorial on how to plug speakers to ps3, and what kind of speakers i need!

Thanks

Excuse me but i can't seem to find any link in your sig, please paste here. :)

Thanks

I used to use the same monitor and speakers for my 360 and PC, but the connections are pretty much the same, except you'll be using HDMI for your video whereas I was using VGA. My speaker solution was a Logitech Z-5500 5.1 system. It has three ports for analog 6-channel audio, this is what all PC games use, it also has a digital optical port for your console. I also used the digital coaxial port for any PC digital needs, such as watching movies with AC-3 encoding.

Excuse me but i can't seem to find any link in your sig, please paste here. :)

Cool, but i can't see your sig. :( Strange... Link next time? :)

hey man ,actually there was a guy want to get a screen and we discusse alot about it so u can go and look for his topic and hope it help u.

this is the link of his topic http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26502675

Thanks, i looked at the topic, and i was kinda shocked about the Asus monitor you were talking about, i looked at the specs and stuff, and it seems to be a perfect monitor for me!

Since it has built in speakers i should get sound by just plugging hdmi-hdmi between the monitor and the ps3, right? It doesn't have as good resolution as the Benq G2400W, but does it still support 1080p? Anyways im pretty sure this monitor is better than the Benq.

yah asus is pretty cool ,its supports 1080p,1080i,720p which mean that it support full hd ,and its have a camera and mic the both workeing on the ps3.

Why does anyone want this?

Comfy couch + Big HD TV > Computer chair + Small HD-ish Monitor

choffy

not all the people can pay for hd tvs,and over here(Egypt) the hd tvs are really exspensive and when I bought the monitor(asus) ,its really cheap and very good for me.

Why does anyone want this?

Comfy couch + Big HD TV > Computer chair + Small HD-ish Monitor

choffy

simple.. couch + big TV = sitting 100ft away from the action.

comp. chair + small HD monitor = better back support and closer to the action being able to see every detail.

My Set up is 25.5" Samsung Monitor with DVI-HDMI cable and the Logitech Z5500 5.1 speakers with optical cable.

Well since im still in school and stuff i really can't afford a brand new hd tv unless i get a job, but then i wouldn't have time to play the ps3, and i live in Europe so we get to pay more than Americans :). Because i've been a Pc-gamer for.. well a very long time it's better for me this way i guess. Anyways i can use my bed if i don't feel comfortable.

Cool so i don't have to buy a seperate bluetooth mic? Btw. how good is the monitors' mic/camera/speakers compared to the best ones on the market?

yah ,u dont have to do buy a bluetooth mic ,the mic is really good and does the job,by the way the camera quality is really good but of cource u cant use it as eye toy,cause I tryed an eyetoy programme and it dosent work with it-.-.

I think the asus monitor is one of the best monitors in the market,what u would like on it that u have a button which allow u to switch from dvi to hdmi to vga like a tv.

Cool, but i can't see your sig. :( Strange... Link next time? :)

Mosku

Thanks that helped. :)

Moshakirby, in your guide you talk about hdmi - dvi cable between the monitor and the ps3, but i didn't see you mentioning hdmi - hdmi between them, so if i'd have a widescreen monitor with a hdmi connection, couldn't i just use hdmi - hdmi cable? Or do i have to use dvi - hdmi?

Now i just gotta make a desicion about which monitor to buy. I want it to have very good quality, but i don't want to pay loads for it, the Asus seems like the best choise (so far) but i've read so much good stuff about other monitors, and someone just told me on other forum, that the Benq G2400W would be a better choise than the Asus. Anyway one thing is sure, i am going for a monitor.

5 ms is not a high response time. It's also much lower than an LCD TV, so it should be very good. The fact that the BenQ monitor will be able to support a 1080p signal is nice. The Asus will not be able to do that.

the asus supports 1080p as well and I playing my ps3 on 1080p.

you can't get full 1080p from a 22" monitor.. you need at least 24".. resolution 1680x1050... 1050 does not = 1080..TIGERLUCK

this for the dvi ,not for hdmi ,I sware I am playing my ps3 at 1080p and its written at alot of website that screen supports full hd

yep, some Dell 22" do too. Apparently though it says that 1050 is the max, it can actually reach 1080. Im getting a Dell 22" for my PS3 and getting the audio with my stereo 3000 of sound power!!!!!

So how is it really, does it support 1080p?

Im 50/50 on those monitors now, Benq is 24" and has better res, but the Asus seems to have better the rest+it comes with the mic. I'd so like to hear a comment from an expert of these things. :)

Btw. Does the Asus monitor create black bars when playing with the ps3? I heard the Benq does, but they are apparently so minimal that it doesn't bother.

You actually want the image to have black bars, because that means the monitor is retaining the same aspect ratio of the signal it receives. A computer widescreen image is 16:10, and the PS3 displays in 16:9, so if the 16:9 image were to take up the entirety of the 16:10 monitor, the image would be slightly warped. That's why it displays black bars.

Check reviews online between the two models and see what the pros say. I would be much more inclined to go with a 24" than a 22 if they were the same price.

Also why would you want a mic with your monitor?? It's probably crappy anyway, and I don't think it would be a selling point. Get one attached to your headset or get the Zalman clip-on mic, that one works really well and it's only about $10-$15.

ok while I know there is no a big difference between the 22 and 24 ,just very little difference ,ok here it is another asus screen have all the same things but 24 inch have some more features in color.

the link for the screen http://usa.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=10&l2=151&l3=638&l4=0&model=2063&modelmenu=1

the price of the 24 inch asus screen is $489.99.

the price of the 24 inch asus screen is $489.99.

Hardly what? Circles aren't circles anymore, which is fairly obvious to me, since pretty much every game has a circular radar. I know the black bars are so small, that's why I'm saying it's better if you have a monitor that shows black bars and retains the proper aspect ratio of the image.
