Can You Plug A PS3 In to A PC Monitor?

If you can, can you please tell me how. I don't have a n HDTV so I want to use my PC monitor to get high-definition graphics.

Ok, basically you need something called a VGA Box. Prices vary.

When you have one of these VGA boxes, you have a switch which can switch your TV monitor into the gaming one, and vice versa. I honestly do recommend use a VGA box over a Tv card, only because you get true resolution, and the connections on TV cards are fiddly.

Does your monitor have a DVI input on it? If yes, just buy a HDMI/DVI cable and your good to go.

The PS3 requires HDCP compliance through it's HDMI port regardless of whether you are watching a movie or playing a game.

It can be hooked up directly to a computer monitor provided you have

a. DVI or HDMI input on your monitor

b. The input must be HDCP compliant!

can you just use a dvi-hdmi cable or do you need to use the vga box with it aswell??

You really do not need a whole VGA box.

If your monitor supports it, just get a HDMI/DVI cable.

Here's how I used to have it set up before I got an HDTV: I hook up the PS3 to the monitor with the HDMI/DVI cable. Then I needed sound because I monitor didn't have built-in speakers. I used the old analog (red, white and yellow) cable, plugged it into my PS3, then used an audio coupler (it's like an adapter that binds the red and yellow [for audio] together into one jack) and plugged that into my PC speakers.
