not so much relevant to my question, as im not using or intending to use dvi-to-hdmi converter.

i'm expecting some one here that shares the same scenario as me to confirm my queries. One LCD monitor sharing with both the PS3 and PC.

most of the people seems to be either using a vgabox (which i find deteroriate the PC image) or a dedicated 32/40/50 inch LCD screen for the PS3 (which i dun have the budget to purchase one at the moment)

another thing is - currently im connecting the PS3 optical output directly to the Logitech speaker. if i'm connecting my PS3 to the LCD monitor via HDMI, would the sound still being output from the PS3 directly to the speaker or it will now be diverted to the HDMI cable? i.e. the optical cable would now need to be plug to the LCD monitor optical output instead.

U can use HDMI switch. Multiple input HDMI to single output HMDI. U can select which sources you want to output.

Regarding the audio, u can configure it manually. U can use HDMI for video, and choose either HDMI, Optical or Composite for audio.

So, your monitor has both HDMI and DVI port then. Mine is different. Only VGA and DVI port. Plan to use that DVI for PS3 and the VGA for PC. Will have to buy a converter for VGA>DVI though as my graphic card cannot slot in VGA cable. When you mention VGA Box, may I know how that works?
