PlayStation 3 1080i output on a LCD Computer Monitor?

by PiCASSiMO - 11/10/06 3:53 AM

Hi,

In the very near future, when all the PS3 buzz settles down, I would like to purchase the PS3 unit along with the Gran Turismo HD (as I've invested in steering wheel/pedal hardware in the past). And to certainly take advantage of the "high definition" output of the PS3 and GT HD, I would need a 1080i display.

But I don't want to invest a couple of grand in a large 40 or 50-inch family room LCD/Plasma display, but instead would like to upgrade my current ViewSonic 17" CRT monitor and get myself a either a standard or a widescreen LCD computer screen.

If that's the case, would I be able to take the HD (HDMI?) output of the PS3 and display it on the computer LCD screen? Would there be a conversion with cables/adaptors that I'd have to use?

The PS3 is already a big investment itself, so I'd like to balance it out with a LCD display that would be used for my regular computer games, internet surfing, digital image editing, etc.

Appreciate anyone's feedback!

Paul

does the monitor have. If it has a DVI connector, then you can use an HDMI to DVI cable. HDMI carries video and audio. DVI carries only video. If the monitor has no digital input you're probably SOL.

as long as you buy a LCD monitor that is HDCP compliant and hook it up using an hdmi-dvi cable you should be fine. i am building another pc and decided to get a 20inch widescreen lcd and it is hdcp capable and it works just great.

I know this is really late, but I found this post by searching google. Once I hookup the hdmi to dvi cable and get video, how would you get sound? Would you just use the white and red cables that came with the TV hookups?

Thanks
