Yes, your PS3 will work on an ordinary TV. But the games and movies will look much better if you have a HDTV.

Yes it will, but it's going to look like crap unless it supports component. The best gaming experience is on a HDTV with HDMI and an HDTV makes all the difference in the world with the graphics.

For a TV you wont need anything unless you play in HD. For a computer monitor you will need a VGA box. Put this in your web browser. http://www.amazon.com/Startech-GameJockey-Console-Converter-COMP2VGA/dp/B00006B8EI/ref=pd_bbs_2/105-9863545-3972439?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1183316881&sr=1-2

SD is ok for Ps3

But for full visual experience you have to use HDTV

Look

SD

HD

You see...there is a very BIG difference...
