You're trying to use a PS3 with a PC monitor?  I thought that couldn't be done, but I'm not sure.
Why wouldn't it?
PC monitors and LCD HDTVs are nearly indistinguishable from each other now, at least when connecting via HDMI.
It should simply be a case of:
HDMI from PS3 to PC monitor
Audio output (depends on your audio system) from PS3 to audio system.  (Actually, this is one of the few differences between PC monitors and TVs with HDMI connectivity - most PC monitors don't have speakers, TVs do and support HDMI audio.)
In my case, I have HDMI to my 46" TV and optical audio to a Yamaha receiver, but could easily move the PS3 to my "office" and connect to my 24" Gateway monitor and my other Yamaha receiver.  (Yes, I have TWO Yamaha HTIB systems, one in the living room and one in the "office".)

  • Playstation 2 to Widescreen LCD Monitor-- Help

    I recently purchased a 23" Acer widescreen 1080P monitor at a Black Friday sale, and I love this new monitor. It's twice as big as my old one and it is really nice. Anyway, I've heard stories of people hooking up video game systems (in my case a Playstation 2 would be what I would like to hook up) to their monitors. My neighbor a few houses down has his 360 hooked up to his aging CRT type monitor. I don't know the exact details but i've looked up a lot of information on how to do so, and it's all very confusing. First, i'd like to point out that that in addition to the standard VGA cable to plug into my desktop tower, it also features a DVI-D jack. As I mentioned above I would like to start hooking up my Playstation 2 to my monitor and playing on the widescreen. I know it can be done and it has been done, I just would like to know a simple way to start doing it, and if possible, items I could purchase at my local Best Buy so that I could play my Playstation on my monitor again. Any and all opinions/tips to accomplish this are welcomed. I am 17 years old and I have about 50 games for my Playstation 2, most of which I have owned since my childhood. I would like to fully enjoy these games more often, so please help!

  • Quality of screen color flashes after connecting to external LCD monitor

    After connecting my Powerbook G4 to an external LCD monitor via s-video, the quality of the image on the built-in screen flashes back and forth between what seems like a 8 or 16-bit image and a 32-bit image. I have run the hardware test and everything checks out fine but the image is grainy and washed out and only sometimes returns to normal. I have also reset PRAM and PMU to no effect, as well as tried recalibrating the display. And oddly, the external display is fine.
    This is terribly frustrating as all colors are washed out and I can't truly gauge what I am doing design wise. Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thank you, Silly Rabbit. I actually only hook the Powerbook up to the external monitor (LCD TV) to watch movies, show photos, etc. I don't actually use an external monitor on a daily basis.
    Your suggestion is a good one, which I appreciate. I am going to the Genius Bar this afternoon, so hopefully they can provide a solution for the built-in screen.
    Thanks again!

  • Blank screen, Intel Mac mini, Samsung P23700 LCD monitor; HELP!?!

    I just got a new 23" Samsung LCD monitor and hooked it up to an Intel Mac mini. Turning on the system results in a blank screen with the monitor simply displaying a dialog box that seems to show that it is trying to figure out if the incoming signal is digital or analog. This dialog box is on for a few seconds and then the monitor goes to sleep. The monitor realizes that there is a signal coming in; As soon as I disconnect the DVI cable I get the standard "Check Signal Cable" on the monitor's screen. I don't even get the initial white screen on the Mac boot up. nothing. just the monitor's confused signal identifying dialog.
    I've tried connecting the Mac mini to the monitor with a DVI to DVI cable and a DVI to VGA to DVI connection, with the same result.
    I've also tried the monitor with an older PowerPC based Mac mini with the same result.
    Both Macmini's work with out a problem when connected to my 32" LCD TV with a DVI to HDMI cable.
    I also tried the Samsung monitor with a little Windows XP running laptop using the VGA to DVI cable and the monitor worked like a charm; I think that fact has been the most painful part of the process up to now.
    The windows machine's screen set up that worked was 1280x800 at 40Hz. I can't get a resolution like that on the Mac's display settings. I've only been able to hook it up to the LCD TV, and the display settings when hooked up to the TV are limited to LCD TV settings; i.e. 1080i. I've also tried setting the mac mini to 800x600 but still get no picture.
    Resetting PRAM etc. didn't help either.
    I'm stuck... any ideas people?

    I've tried connecting the Mac mini to the monitor with a DVI to DVI cable...
    That should work.
    and a DVI to VGA to DVI connection...
    That won't work. Once you go from DVI to VGA from the mini, you need to stay VGA. There is no going back to digital. So try DVI to VGA and then a VGA cable to the Samsung.
    I also tried the Samsung monitor with a little Windows XP running laptop using the VGA to DVI cable and the monitor worked like a charm;...The windows machine's screen set up that worked was 1280x800 at 40Hz.
    I wouldn't call that working like a charm. 1280 x 800 at 40Hz is a completely bizarre resolution for a 23" monitor, or any monitor. I would begin wondering if you got a bad monitor if that's the best it can do.

  • How to connect PB to LCD monitor?

    I have a 26 inch PC LCD monitor. It has a an svga and an hdmi inputs. What type of cable do I need to connect my PB to this monitor? Thank you

    You can use a DVI to HDMI cable, along with an audio mini jack cable, since DVI doesn't carry an audio signal. One source for cables is http://www.monoprice.com/products/department.asp?c_id=109

  • Best way to connect iPod to LCD monitor?

    Hello,
    I wish to hookup my 5G iPod to a LCD monitor to display a slide show.
    I know that some LCD's have RCA inputs (the yellow one) or S Video inputs and can thus go straight from the iPod. But many economy model LCD's do not have these.
    So how can I hook up my iPod 5G/Photo or Video to a LCD which only has a VGA input?
    Thanks!

    Hi! I have a 2008 toyota camry and had to change my Aux connection for my 2nd Gen touch. All sound for the AUX, I believe comes from the connector not the 3.5 jack. The 2nd gen does not support the old firewire charging, so some of the third party cables will not charge a 2nd gen touch. Check this one out.
    I bought this one, though the price was a little steep $49.00

  • How can I connect HDTV and LCD monitor to PC using both -as a double monitor.

    I recently purchased HP Pavilion PC a6600f with HP w1707 monitor. I also purchased a DVI to HDMI cable to hook PC to Samsung HDTV. I can use the VGA cable to hook to the monitor and the DVI to HDMI cable to hook to the HDTV but have to unplug one to use the other. Is there any way to configure Windows Vista Home Premium to show on both screens at same time or at least be able to switch between the two without having to unplug one and restart computer? 
    This question was solved.

    I believe you have to press Source or the Mode button to switch between video inputs on your monitor.

  • Connecting 2 LCD monitors to my Macbook?

    Hello Everyone.
    Ok, before I go poking around and stuff something up, can someone please answer my following questions. I am wanting to connect two LCD 22inch monitors to my Macbook Pro.
    1. How do I do this?
    2. Instead of buying Apple screens, are there any other good LCD monitors that will do just a good a job?
    Please help.
    Thanks....I love my MAC

    1. http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/products/home.php
    check graphic expansion modules
    2. for serious work I would strongly recommend eizo monitors. current apple displays simply cant compete with them. They are very outdated and therefore overpriced. they have poor adjusting possibilities..in both picture and stands.

  • What connects do I need to hook up a 2nd LCD monitor to my p7-1380t HP computer?

    My current monitor is a Samsung Starlight LCD monitor hooked up to my p7--1380t (approx 23 inches).  I want to set up a 2nd monitor which is a DELL LCD (unable to find monitor model #).
    Can you advise me which ports to use on the back of my computer and which cable type I should get for the Dell monitor?

    Okrafarmboy, welcome to the forum.
    We don't have information on Dell monitors.  However, I believe that it will be either VGA or DVI (D or I).  It depends on the age of the monitor.

  • Connecting LCD Monitor to lenovo n100 0768-ffg

    If your laptop LCD do not display a yellow tinge, then the most likely the vga adapter on your laptop probably have a bad connection or have dirt in it. There is the option of getting a port replicator, which i believe have a vga out port, or a cheap
    usb2vga converter box, which can be bought for a cheap price over the net.

  • I just bought a recertified Mac Mini, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.

    I just bought a recertified Mac Mini core duo - it's not the newer model-, and I wonder if anyone here knows if it's possible to hook up my Mac flat screen LCD monitor to it  and using what adapters? I currently have a DVI to ADC adapter connected to my G4 Powermac.
    The company I bought it from is not Apple, and I may regret that. It was in my price range, though.
    This is the first time I've used this community, and I've been a Mac owner since 2000. Thanks in advance!

    when you say "Mac flat screen LCD", do you mean this:

  • Mac Pro 3.1 (early 2008) lags since I connected a 2nd monitor - HELP!!

    Hey guys,
    I just bought a 2nd monitor and i have lags every 5 seconds which
    last about half a second (feels like 10 or less fps during the lag).
    It happens with all kinds of applications. It gets worse with multiple
    applications openend at a time. The crazy thing is that it only occurs
    when i start to use both monitors at the same time. When i e.g. use
    Logic 9.1 and use one monitor everything runs nice and smoothely
    but as soon as i move the window slowly to the 2nd monitor i can
    see the window lagging while I'm moving it. This is really annoying
    because it seems not every input from the mouse/keyboard gets
    into the system and its not a smooth workflow at all.
    I switched the monitors connections but it didn't help.
    Mac Pro (Early 2008) 2.8Ghz 8-core
    Snow Leopoard ( 10.6.2 )
    6GB RAM (2x2gb kingston, and the usual 2x1gb)
    ATI 2600XT and 3 HDD.
    1 Monitor 24" LG W2452T running at 1920 x 1200
    1 Monitor 22" Samsung Syncmaster 2243BW running at 1680 x 1050
    I really hope that you guys can help me out with this one.
    What could be the problem? The ATI 2600XT should definately
    be able to handle two screens at once with such little graphics
    in logic 9 ?!
    I want to run Logic 9 and an analyzer software (Spectre from AudiofileEngineering)
    at the same time but its not possible with the LAG.
    The problem/lags also occur when i sync the monitors.
    Would a 2nd graphics card be a solution? But as I said
    before its not a graphics demanding application.
    Is it a hardware or software problem?
    Summary:
    - The whole System lags (not just one monitor) when
    I start to use both monitors (having application windows on both).
    I've got minor lags when using only one display and leave the
    2nd one with the desktop wallpaper clean.
    I tried:
    -using only the 2x1 GB RAM which came with the mac pro
    -using only the 2x2 GB Kingston RAM
    Thank you in advance for your help guys!

    Hey all,
    I wasn't able to fix this yet.
    I did everything I can think of. I even tried to wire
    one monitor with a VGA cable but it didn't help.
    I even have small lags when I am moving the Safari window
    between the 2 monitors. Really little lags then but they
    definitely are noticeable. I can make a video of that
    if that would help someone understanding.
    Hope there is someone out there who can help me with this.
    Thanks already for any advice!
    Cheers,
    Rick
    Edit: Do you think a new graphics card like the ATI 4870 would
    help it? But I really don't want to spend more money just to
    have 2 monitors while i have already 2 dvi connections on the
    ati 2600XT.

  • External LCD Monitor Connection - Unacceptable Quality

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased a Mac, hoping that I would be able to connect to my external LCD monitor (19" Samsung SyncMaster 920NW - only VGA connection).
    I have easily hooked up my monitor to my Mac. However, what I see is of unacceptable quality. When compared to Macbook display, the display on the external monitor is darker and the text looks horrible. I have played with few settings but nothing good.
    I have read other threads where people complain about similar things. But, I thought Samsung's monitors would be of higher quality. Mine is a relatively cheap LCD but not this cheap
    I am just willing to confirm that I am not missing anything. I simply can't believe that the display quality could be this bad. In the worst case, I will have to buy a new LCD.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hello stedman1,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    Unfortunately, it is not running in the Mirror mode. The display with the mirror mode was even worse! But after reading the posts in the forum, I have learned how to change it to the extended display. It is better than the mirror mode, but still not good enough.
    Maybe I am making a mistake comparing the external monitor with the MacBook's monitor?? There is a huge gap between the two. It is a lot darker, and the text quality is way worse.
    Someone with a similar monitor having solved this issues?
    Thanks,
    Guven.

  • Connecting Powerbook to External LCD Monitor

    The D-BUS port on the external LCD monitor is a female port, so is the VGA port of the DVI Adapter, How can I connect these 2 if both are female ports, what do I need???

    Sounds like you need a VGA cable with male VGA plugs at both ends. Quite common, for VGA monitors that don't have hard-wired cables.

  • How to connect macintosh LC to LCD monitor?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to connect a Macintosh LC to a VGA LCD monitor.  I'm not sure if that is possible, if so, what is the name of the adaptor that I need to get for it? Ebay has tons of such adaptors when I tried looking for them, but I didnt know which one to chose.  Thanks very much!

    With an old Mac like the LC, your problem is more complicated than finding a hardware interface adapter.  The original LC and LC II had a maximum VRAM of 512 KB, which was adequate to support the old Apple 12" or 13" RGB displays, but not the multi-sync displays that followed.  The LC III had a little more VRAM, maxing out at 768 KB, but still has the same limitation as its predecessors.  A modern 19" LCD display typically has a widescreen aspect ratio (16:9) and an optimal resolution of 1440x900 @ 60 Hz.  The LCs don't support this resolution, because it didn't exist back in 1990.  Even in newer (old) Macs with PCI slots, there are early graphics cards that can't support widescreen displays, because they weren't programmed for it.  If you want to use the LC, you should look for an older Apple RGB display, but because they had the Sony Trinitron CRT, they're very heavy and not feasible to buy from an eBay seller, when you factor in the cost of shipping.  If there are any thrift stores or computer recyclers in your area, you might want to check them out.
