Yes, it can.

I think you need a DVI-HDMI cable to hook up your PS3 to the PC~

There should be a more detailed explanation in one of the stickies.

I'm getting my PS3 as well~ :D

Unless your monitor is HDCP compliant it probably won't work.

That's not mentioned well but its required if you use a HDMI->DVI converter.

Alternatively, lacking an HDCP monitor you could try a composite->vga converter but those are a pain in the butt to config properly....

You're very welcome. Sorry I can't be of more help. That's all the information I have... =_= (I think it's best that you also make note of UntoldDreams' reply about HDCP... Just in case...) PS. actually, I'm from Taiwan. But I've lived in Canada for quite a few years now~ I'm officially Canadian~ :D

That's a great monitor~ I probably won't be adding anyone to friend invite now... Sorry... Cuz my router broke down... And since I spent so much money on my PS3 and other stuff, I don't plan on getting another router for now... Plus, my PS3 is no where near a cable modem... Hope you'll enjoy friend invite tho~ cheers~
