Can PS3 console play on monitor HD ?

[bearmon2010]

Hi!

I have Acer H233H: 23″ 1080p LCD Monitor and I would like to play PS3 console plug to monitor. Can I do that ? How ? The reason I am asking is because my roommate always watch Sony 1080p HD 40 inches so I dont want to bother him.

Yeah you can, but you'll need some type of hdmi to dvi/vga converter. And you'll have to output your sound separately thru the spdif on the back of the ps3 to external speakers. Dvi/vga doesnt do sound.

I'm playing my PS3 thru my 24" Asus Monitor, cept my monitor has hdmi input so I dont need to use a converter. Thing is though, most of the games look blurry cause you have sit too close.

yea it'll work fine as long as you get the dvi to hdmi converter as the above poster said

i use a 24" hp monitor and it works good

Fine. Can you give me the name of it so I can check it out on walmart or any stores through sites ?

Either get the DVI-HDMI connedtor or get a CABLE WITH dvi ON ONE END AND hdmi ON THE OTHER. You will then need to get the sound sepataely from the PS3 either use headphones /Hi-FI whatever you like

Awesome. Thanks, guys.

EDIT: Then how do I turn it on ? It will just automatically appear on monitor from ps3 and you are all set ?

Maybe if not turn off ps3 then hold the power button until you hear a beep , should come on then.

yea once you have your settings on hdmi the monitor should come on when you power up your ps3

usually it would show up on your screeen and tell you that an hdmi connection has been detected and whether to use that for video/audio, altho once you agree to use that, the next time you try to plug it to a non hdmi source, you wont see anything, thus you will need to hold down the power button until it becomes red and bit more until you hear an extra beep

dvi to hdmi will feature no sound tho, so you would need to use a headset or use 2 cables and a converter for the sound, which would need setup (setting video to hdmi, and audio to the ps3 cable)
