Sony - Play PS3 on Monitor? - View Post

How are you getting sound? Your monitor have speakers?

Or does PS3 have a headphone jack you can plug into directly? I know for the 360 hooked up to my monitor I had to use both the cable that came with to plug into speakers and then HDMI cord to plug into my monitor. Had to break open the cable that came with to be able to fit both side by side on the 360. Stupid microsoft put the ports so close to one another.

Have not even attempted to hook up PS3, so don't know how I would get sound. Video would be easy, cause unlike you I have an HDMI on at least one of my monitors.

But as someone above said HDMI is not any better than DVI. Every single one of my monitors is hooked up using DVI, none of them using hdmi and pretty sure most of them have an hdmi port. Actually I think my smallest monitor might be using the hdmi cord. Was the shortest cord and that monitor was closest to tower thus why I used it for that.  Each monitor is minimum 1080p resolution or 1920x1080.  I never understand peoples obsession with the word "HD" these days.  I swear they don't know what it means.  Then toss in the apple morons and their "retina" display and they would make you believe that your 1920x1080 is a black and white tv

yeah for my xbox, the cable I have splits the video and sound. So the VGA is for video on the monitor and I have two RCA cables which I connect to a deck.
