Anyone have any results from connecting this monitor to the PS3 via HDMI to DVI?

i have this monitor for my PS3, it works great. it can display 1920x1080p resolution, games and movies look great. only annoying thing is that when you are in 1080 res. a message will occassionally pop up telling you to drop down to the next lowest resolution, i dunno why it does that, i just ignore it and click it off. i love this monitor, it's a cheaper than buying a HDTV if you are on a budget and dont mind 22 in.

If you were hooking up the elite to that monitor how would you get sound with the hdmi-dvi cable? and is it better quality than vga?

he probably does what most ps3 users do with DVI monitors. use the hdmi to dvi for display and then use the regular composite AV cables to hook it up to a speaker.
