What do I need to be able to connect my ps3 to my monitor?

I'm really sorry cuz I don't know where to ask this.

I have a Samsung SyncMaster 943BWX with a max resolution of 1440x900 and I was wondering if it's possible to connect my ps3.

Now I wanna know what I need to make it possible since we can't afford a new tv right now.

From what I know, I need an HDMI cable but I'm not sure if my monitor is hd.

Thanks!

Only thing i can tell you is to look at the back of your Monitor and look for a HDMI IN jack. Just order a HDMI cable for $5 bucks online.

Lol. I only got a DVI port. Now I know that I need a HDMI cable and a HDMI to DVI cable. Now what?

Is your monitor even HDCP capable?

If not, then sorry u can't use the PS3 on it.

What's HDCP? How do I know if its capable? :(

Here's the specs of my monitor http://www.superwarehouse.com/Samsung_SyncMaster_943BWX_19_Widescreen_LCD_Monitor/943BWX/ps/1507826

Look at the specs

DVI is fine, its basically HDMI without sound, however HDCP support is important. You should be able to find some mention about this in your manual or at-least the net. I would check the manual first, as normally its more accurate. If the monitor is HDCP compatible (which it should be) then your need a HDMI -> DVI cable (or you can use HDMI -> HDMI + Adopter) - I have HDMI to DVI cable on my downstairs PS3 and it works fine. Once you get that sorted, then you will need to get some kind-of sound output. This can be got from PS3's optical or multi-jack to some kind-of speaker. I'm guessing your monitor doesnt have any speaker built into it?Roguey000

So, I need to buy a HDMI to DVI and a HDMI? I'm confused. And yes, my monitor has no built in speakers. :(

Okay guys, my monitor has HDCP support. Now what?

Yes its HDCP compatible, buy a HDMI-DVI converter and your set, HDMI goes to PS3 and DVI attaches to your cable.

So uh, just HDMI to DVI thats it? No need to buy a normal HDMI? Sorry...
