hi, need some help here

i have samsung 732 17 lcd and ps2..

i wan to play with it but cannot...

they say got device to connect them...

wonder what is the device and can some1 provide me the name en pictures?

thanks all rclxms.gif

i just got GT5P today, my first game ..

playing it on my Samsung 2253BW.

weirdly enough, when i'm displaying at 720p, the image gets cropped left and right.. didn't happen with any of the other demos i downloaded. the Grid demo received black bars top and bottom.

on the other hand, when i force it to display 1080p, the monitor complains that it's not the optimum reso but still displays it.. and the picture is perfect without any cropping!!

anybody with the same monitor experienced the same thing as me?

so will it effect the monitor in long term..???
coz i want to grab samsung monitor in a few weeks...
sure i wanna prepare for a gt5 next year and damn sure i will not able to buy lcd tv..
hahaha

Its simply the case of the game(GT5P) being in an upscaled-native 1080p. While its original native resolution is 720p, the game is locked somehow in 1080p via upscaling from the PS3. Its weird.

Shouldn't affect the monitor in the long term, it simply is just displaying a non-native resolution thats all.

You'll need either a VGA box or video capture card for your PC (but this will mean having the PS2 go through your computer and then to the LCD).

A couple of VGA box options:

Try and find a VGA box that supports the native resolution of your monitor.

I just bought a 29" flatscreen CRT TV and it has all these ports...
i'm trying to connect the ps3 to it via component cable (green/red/blue)

here is a picture i drew using MS paint of the back of my tv (couldn't take a picture cos my dad borrowed my cam). After plugging in the green, red and blue video plugs, where to plug in the red and white audio plugs? urgent pls help thx.

Hi prazole, I'm using dell 24" monitor too (2407). How does the samsung compare against dell? Is using LCD TV better than LCD monitor?

i'm using benQ 19' inches(G900w)

is'it ok to connect wif PS3?

hey guys~
im actually thinking of getting an lcd monitor coz right now playing ps3 on a sucky tv.
22" seems to be in my price range, but i dont know which brands are actually good.
right now its between samsung and dell, with dell only around rm8xx.
any advice from sifus?

Check and see if your LCD monitor has HDCP, if yes then you're good to go.

if you can't make a decision go and have a walk in the IT mall and trust your eyes I'm sure you'll come to a decision.

PS : ViewSonic ain't too bad too

Hi, i got a problem here using my samsung 2253BW for my ps3.. im using hdmi - dvi cable to connect my ps3 to my monitor.. but the monitor show this message 'it is not the optimal resolution'.

Anyone out there experienced this problem ? any ways to solve it?

Maybe u can try searching previous post at this sub forum. If i'm not mistaken, u can try by resetting to factory default.

Just ignore that message by simply pressing a button on the monitor, it's no biggy.
