Hi,
I am planning to purchase a PS3 and I was wondering is it possible to use my iMac as the monitor for the console because I do not have a television at home. If any of you guys have tried hooking up a Play Station to Macs before, do let me know how. Thanks! |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Nov 20 2009, 04:19 PM) no you can't. the miniDP port on the new iMac only receives video in from other Macs like the macbook. miniDP tech is very different from HDMI, so a miniDP-to-HDMI converter wont bring in video from the PS3 to the iMac display. not even from xbox360 or Wii. Thanks for the information. I read more online and I realised it cannot be fixed also. But what is the percentage of success if I hook the PS3 to a normal monitor instead - like those with HDMI, DVI, etcetera?from my understanding it's a hardware limitation so dont bother waiting for an update to fix this. probably you should get a smaller monitor to play PS3... maybe 24".  |
