1)Samsung 206BW
2)Vsonic VG2030wm

not sure about the viewsonic, but the samsung 206bw is hdcp-compatible (scroll down and see "Special Features" "DVI(HDCP)"

another alternative would be the Samsung 931BW

haven tested bluray movie already kering no more cash 2 buy bluray ,ovie but will buy 1 soon,as long as the LCD monitor is HDCP compliant no problem with bluray movies btw DMC4 looks so eye candy with Samsung 931bw.If u have cash i would recomend bigger LCD then u can get higher resolution up to 1080P.

I'm using Samsung 206BW with HDMI->DVI cable.

It displays up to 720p only, 1080i and 1080p will have nothing on screen with a message not supported resolution.

My friend uses 226BW and he confirm it works with 1080i and not 1080p
He said, 1080i sux, 720p looks way better.

PM duh2k, he's the one using 226BW tongue.gif

my 931BW can display 1080P in the xmb only but the LCD will come up with a text "Not optimised mode" but when i play DMC4 the game is scaled down and graphics looks very bad not sharp,so i set to 720P everything looks cool. icon_rolleyes.gif

I checked behind DMC4 box it says support 480P,720P so playing the game beyond its resolution will nt give better results izit? and example i seen assasin creed stating 1080I behind the box if i play at 720P will the graphic look bad? My monitor can only display 720P max. rclxub.gif

720P also looks good of course bigger the better,but most PS3 games support from 480P to 1080P,so any of these resolutions u still get HD quality,1080P needs LCD more than 24".

im using Kenwood amp for my ps3 with huge speakers.I tried using my sonic gear 2.1 system is just not enough punch,so i dismantle my hall AV amp coz seldom use redi,But the amp uses a Dolby surround so i cant utilise the Dolby Digital sound as the amp cant input AC-3 digital input sweat.gif ,so maybe wana get a amp with AC-3 and then use 5.1 audio i guess it will certainly make a huge difference in sound quality and stage.

How to check whether my lcd monitor can support ps3?is dell lcd monitor a good model to play ps3?

Check ur LCD monitor has HDCP in order for display if not certain lcd without HDCP u will not get display and need tedious work to get it 2 have display.If ur LCD has DVI theres a chance it will work even it has no HDCP.
