Hi, i was wondering if i could connect a PS3 to a LCD panel and some standard 2.1 computer speakers.

Is is possible?

What cables would i need?

sigh..
firstly yes u can..
2ndly depending on the type of LCD u are using.
home entertainment LCD is definately a yes
PC LCD depends. 24 inch and above u should hv HDMI ready
22 inch and below u need a DVI-HDMi converter..
audio.. go get a rca female to female thn boleh.

will there be a loss of audio quality?

And don't forget HDCP

Owh... forgot to mention.

Im using a Samsung 226BW that is HDCP compliant.

User reports online claim it will work with 720p perfectly (with a slight thinning effect due to the slightly different aspect ratio) and with 1080p it downscales abit.


Now im wondering about the audio....

The HDMI to DVI connections dont include audio apparently. I'll have to figure a way to connect computer speakers to the PS3. Is it possible?


Optical out converters perhaps?

u can stil use the jack tat came with it. meaning the red and white jack thn using a rca female to female connect it to a green female audio jack. u can get all these at lowyat or any audio shop.

i was like u previously.. but optical is freaking exp. unless u got cash to spare.



tats how it looks like ok..

Wow u all play PS3 on ur PC LCD wahaha... :thumps

no money to buy home LCD ma. so opt for the cheaper one lo

agree

its better to use a 24" PC LCD rather than those economic rm2.6k 32" LCD TV, the 24" LCD support full HD

You won't be able to see the difference really on such a small screen.

However, the screen estate is awesome if you intend to use the screen for your normal computer use as well.

LCD monitor will always produce more crispier and sharper image, and also great color dynamic range than any entry level LCD TV

plus, bigger screen or not, it's just depends on how far u sit in front of the monitor/tv

Any idea where can get HDMI to DVI cable from?

What type of DVI we're talking here?

Compare ur PC LCD with Samsung F96 series LCD?









Samsung LCD TVs offer unparalleled picture quality that can be optimised for gaming at the touch of a button. It allows for H-sharpness and a faster response time in the games.
In addition, its powerful surround sound effects produce a magical environ-ment of wonder that is filled with excitement and joy.

lol... how much is that?
a Dell 24" only rm2.2k iinm

Thanks for the replies guys.

Im still torn... dont know if i wanna play Crysis/Bioshock etc (new PC)... or get a PS3.


500,000:1???

You gotta be kiddin me.

My 226BW's 3000:1 ratio is nothing to shout about. Sure, photos are realistic, but for text and internet surfing, the crappy matte screen on my T60 (really crappy, completely colour inaccurate, dim) produces far deeper blacks than the samsung. Reading is much easier on the small notebook than the desktop 3000:1 Display.

Hey i want to ask my TV is Sony KLV-S32A10
It only support till 720p
can anyone know if it with PS3 it image will be good?

Hi, i want to buy a wide screen LCD monitor, but i have a tight budget. i want to know which brand LCD monitor that got speaker or have sound output that can plug and play with PS3?

Samsung has a promo right now RM2.2k for R71 32" or RM2.4k for R81 32"

Get This one
Coolest of all.

ala better get the BENQ FP94VW. Cheap and have headphone jack...can connect either headphone or pc speaker...easy...has HDMI port...but only 720p...still ok to me for those with tight budget....19".

Just get DELL SP2208WFP with HDMI in, solve all your problem. This is how it looks like:

[attachmentid=394185]

bro, dis model have 22 inch one?

are you by any chance from Intel?

SP2208WFP is ur best budget wise option. The cheapest 22 inch HDMI lcd. If Money doesnt counts for u(too rich), juz buy X-FI elite pro. Solve the problem for Audio output and input. X-FI elite pro console kit got the audio jacks(red and white one) for u to direct the av cable splits signal into ur creative soundcard. But as i said , it being too spendthrift if u opted for this.

hi... planning to get the SP2208WFP for ps3 also. been wondering the picture quality of the lcd output from the ps3 and also any ghosting issues when playing fast pace games ?

as far as i know, only 19"

hi bro, is this dell support up to 1080i resolution? noob question.

bro, alang2 ambik 24" terus...sekarang dell ada offer...around 1.3++k...

no it doesn't , you will get 720 if i'm not mistaken all monitor on this price range won't get you full HD. It's good enough IMHO.

Ya, can go till 720p only. Most PS3 games are capable of 720p output only.

actually i have lcd tv philips 20" but it support up to 720p only. so when i play warhawk so i cant see full screen of the game. any idea what monitor can support up to 1080i or 1080p resolution?

I'm using the HP 2207H - with HDMI input. Built in speakers sucks but I can live with it for the time being. On the info page it's stated that it's running at 1080p with my PS3. Maybe upscaled. Not sure why but as far as I know 22" normally support up to 720p. Weird

anyone try this for lcd monitor which support 1080i/p output

www.hdboxpro.com

bro may i know 720p normal screen is it the same as 720p wide screen? do u see full screen when play game on 720p wide screen? i ask this because my 720p normal screen cannot see a few inch of the image on the left and right. refer the picture below:

[attachmentid=394472]
(720p normal screen)

[attachmentid=394473]
(720p wide screen)

or we only can get full screen when using 1080p? any idea?

Bro, your Phillip LCD is it 4:3 aspect ratio?

It has three screen format adjustment options: 4:3, 16:9 compressed, and 4:3 expand. My LCD TV spec >>> http://www.amazon.com/Philips-20PF5120-20-Flat-LCD/dp/B000AD09IU

it's your lcd problem. not actually problem but becoz af the aspect ratio.
if wanna view full screen must get the 16:9 one.if use 4:3 (like your one) will have black bars.

720p normal (4:3) and 720p wide (16:9) not same. must depends on the source.no need 1080p to
get fullscreen.

maybe you can try change the screen format,but the image will no be like usual (maybe people will fatter n etc).like
in your case you can view fullscreen but some details is missing (left and right)

p/s: time to get wide lcd

so now should i buy lcd monitor widescreen? if i buy lcd monitor widescreen it only support up to 720p also. so is the 720p lcd monitor widescreen can see full screen?

p/s: not enough budget to buy one more lcd tv

I see your phillips LCD has square screen. I guess you should try to play your games @ 4:3 aspect ratio and see whether you can view the full screen of the game image.

If you want to play widescreen (16:9), better get a true widescreen LCD.

Edit: Bro, it seems that it is your LCD limitations. You LCD has only 640 x 480-pixel resolution and not 1366x768 like those HD ready set. Best bet is to get a new LCD TV.

ok bro will find 1366x768.

Nop, I am not from Intel.

Bli je ni Wan..

If really want good lcd wait for benq X series. X2200 is a good model and it had arrive in malaysia already. But not too sure have any suppliers or agent taking orders of it yet. Its already in www.benq.com.my list now. Price i'm not too sure since its very new. It inherit the specs of formal benq FP241VW(with more specs) but just that it isnt 24" and 22" only. Too bad i bought Dell 2208 or else i sure choose this one. 2208 doesnt perform much to what i expected but its budget wise so it doesnt matters to me.

piff... asus tu menarik tertarik aku melihatnye. tapi dia cuma 1680x1050 ja so kalu 1680x1050 cuma dpt 720p ja. tadi aku dah check dgn sorang member dia kata better beli yg 1920 x 1080 atau 1920 x 1200 baru dpt full 1080p. tapi walaupun begitu asus tu bagus jugak sbb ade usb 2.0 component, composite dll.

1080p full HD memang bagus tapi most PS3 software or "baranglembut" can support 720p saja.

if benq i would prefer to buy this http://www.benq.com.my/products/LCD/?produ...=specifications because it support up to 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution

My 22in Acer LCD does not come with HDCP, any solutions?

Yes there is! Change monitor

Duh!
