can ur monitor really be considered full hd with no hdmi... techinally hdmi> other inputs


Yes it can.

"HD" is merely just a resolution, we had computer monitors 15+ years ago with resolutions (I.E. More pixels) than HD offers today, however back then screens were 4:3 and not 16:9 aspect ratios.

As for HDMI being better than other inputs, that's completely false, Display port is superior, Dual-link DVI can be superior.
Personally I run my PC off 3x Display port, my other PC with it's monitors in eyefinity uses 2x DVI and 1x Display port, note the lack of HDMI. :P

Besides, most PS3 games aren't even "Full HD".

As for the Op. Grab yourself a DVI > HDMI converter.
Something like this will be fine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882021060


Thing is my monitor doesn't have built in speakers so I connect RCA cables to this deck i have.

I bought this cable before consulting here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/For-Xbox-360-PS3-5-Ft-HDMI-to-3-RCA-VGA-15-Pin-Converter-Cable-5Feet-1080p-Gold-/380546671966?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item589a59655e

Claims it works for PS3. I need those RCA cables for sound.

Will this solution work? I checked and my monitor is HDCP compliant if that means anything.
