According to a friend of mine..he'd recommend getting a HDMI->DVI cable/adaptor..that is if you're planning to use the HDMI output..

If I'm not mistaken..if you're using this method..you've gotta be sure that your LCD monitor supports HDCP (google it up)

Or you could always use a LCD Box (Or something like that) to convert the normal composite video output to your monitor's VGA input

Btw..this should be in the Playstation forum..lol

This is as much as I know..there's probably better or alternative methods//

THx for the info>_< i dont understand wat u where saying but i will try look it up at google as u said.

can anyone know how to tell if the monitor got 1:1 pixel mapping? for example:

key specifications

* Screen Size : 19" wide
* Resolution : 1440 x 900
* Brightness : 300 cd/mē
* Contrast Ratio : DC 8000:1 (1000:1) (Typ.) <---- is it that?

the (1000:1) ??? means 1:1 pixel mapping?

Thats contrast ratio, nothing to do with 1:1 pixel mapping.

Its quite rare that LCD makers states 1:1 pixel mapping in their spec sheets for their LCDs though. Either download the manual of an LCD you are looking for or search for reviews about it. Or before you buy an LCD, check to see if therse 1:1 pixel mapping or not.

do fp94vw support 1:1 pixel mapping???
dun wanna see left & rite cut...
plan on buying this...
everybody said its a good lcd for ps3...
well, 4 people on budget of coz...

Probably SONY HD TV.

I saw this monitor at Dell online also selling at price Rm 639 including shipping fee . Is this monitor really good for ps3? can you show me some ps3 gameplay picture of your LCD ? Thanks.

are there any advantages if ps3 connected with hdmi-available lcd than using hdmi-dvi converter cable with dvi only lcd?? (in terms of quality of graphics etc etc...)becoz im not sure whether to buy dell 2408wfp becoz of full hd compatibility or just a normal samsung 22 inch lcd... i know most ps3 games don't support full hd but what about blu ray movies? do they support 1080p?

thx...

Using Dell SP2208WFP sure beats the crap out of 32" LCD TV and 22" DVI monitor. This is because DELL SP2208WFP are able to receive 1080P signal and downscale it to 1680x1050. Excellent monitor for it's pricing. My Sharp 32" LCD TV looks OK running 720P for GT5P DELL wins hands down.

I just bought a Samsung 2253BW today

RM910.

very happy with the PQ. my PS3's coming tonight so I'll be able to see how it performs.

it looks FREAKING SWEET with the Xbox 360 hooked up to it, so I'm expecting something similar from the PS3.

can you upload the pictures when your ps3 is coming tonight. If possible show how it was connected? Mine using samsung 226bw but no sound. Does not know how to set it up!

gonna use DVI to HDMI.

use the composite cables to connect to your speakers, and get the PS3 to output sound from there. it's possible.

check out the PS3 beginner's thread for more info.

erm most LCD TV also able to do that la (those that support 1080p signals)..

i have Dell 24" and its the best monitor i have at home..
but my samsung 32'' series 4 is easily surpasses in terms of image quality, color, etc..
resolution of coz 24" is full HD & samsung series 4 is 720p..
otherwise it is very much better

i think maybe ur sharp is older model?

Ya, can display 1280x720P only. DELL can receive input signal of 1080P and downscale to 1680x1050. Smaller screen higher resolution, sure image quality looks better.

For those who are planning to get a benq fp241w/z, the 1:1 mapping isn't accurate as 1080p has black borders all around (top, down, left, right).

Now i'm not sure whether the problem is with the lcd or the console bcoz it works fine for the PC.

I'm gonna try it out on a dell fpw2407 2morrow..

yes it does downscale 1080p to 720p..
but at the end of day u are looking at 720p what, i doubt its better looking..
its the same resolution.. 720p still 720p regardless u have a 1080 source..

even ur monitor is 1680x1050, its still 720p image..
its stretched slightly

Yes, it does downscale to 720P if the title is of 720P, so there won't be difference between monitor and LCD TV. However, comparing 1080P title such as GT5P, the difference is huge. You can clearly see the jagged lines of the speedometer/rev meter

so does this mean that this particular dell monitor downscales any games/movies that are 1080p to 1050p instead of 720p?which also means less image cropping..am i right?sounds good to me..

Yes, you are right!

ok i hav confirmed it.. the benq fp241w is UNABLE to display 1:1 mapping accurately through hdmi.. it will display even 1080p sources at a smaller scale.. though dvi works perfectly fine..
