Ps3 hopeful: Dell monitor

As far as I know the only way to use your Playstation 3 with a PC monitor is if the monitor is HDCP Complaint. I'd recommend looking up the info on your monitor to check it it's HDCP compliant. If it is then you are in luck, well almost. Seeing as DVI is only video you will need something for sound. To get sound you can either use the A/V cables the Playstation 3 came with, or go optical. And if you do decide to go with DVI, I'd recommend buying your HDMI-DVI cable from monoprice.com.

Best of luck!

I just want to say that I have that exact DELL monitor (2007WFP) and it works great with my PS3. At first I was playing on the plasma in my living room but I wanted to get another tv for my bedroom and still be able to play in hd. I saw the Dell and figured it's a great deal, $400 for a huge pc monitor and hd capable for my ps3. Plus most lcd TVs I was looking at in this price range were either no name brands or for a 23", cost several hundred dollars more. You do need an HDMI to DVI cable to play in hd but I got mine from newegg.com for about $10. This monitor is HDCP compliant. I forgot the exact place I read about it but I'm not sure it was the Dell website. It might have been another online review site because I wanted to make sure this was a good monitor before I bought it. Continued...

As for picture quality, the black leves of lcd don't match that of plasma. The picture still looks great and the monitor is able to display 720p but not 1080i. I personaly can't tell the difference between the two resolutions when playing games. HD is way better than sdtv and the Dell monitor great.

The Dell picture quality looks good as far as color accuracy, but I'm no expert. If you've used an lcd you'll know that the blacks are never as deep as conventional tv sets or plasma, but the blacks are good when I watch movies and use the monitor with my pc, and the black background for the ps3 interface screen is good. The anti-reflective coating helps prevent glare from lights and the sun but it does make the monitor less sharp than the newer glossy finishes that many laptop lcds have. This is a choice of personal preference but I think the glossy finish makes the colors more vivid and then again dell doesn't offer you a choice. As far as I'm aware of all their pc monitors come with an anti-reflective coating but I do think other manufactures make desktop lcds with this new glossy coating. It's something to check out if you've never screen the difference before. Back to the Dell 2007, here's a video review from cnet.com http://reviews.cnet.com/Dell_UltraSharp_2007WFP/4505-3174_7-31783769.html?tag=prod.txt.4 The score is good for an lcd since products rarely earn a perfect 10. Most of the new wide lcds from Dell are HDPC compliant. My top choices would be the Dell 2007WFP and 2407WFP but the E207WFP and E228WFP are also good but they don't offer the same adjustability in height and swivel stads. I also heard that they uses lower quality lcd screens than the 2007WFP and 2407WFP.
