Mine used DVI-D (single link)

Did you try resetting your PS3's video settings?

Mine has DVI-I Dual Link.

No, i didnt reset the settings, if that was the problem, i would be a bit pissed.. i might try it later again, but even if it works, im happy with my HDTV atm. :) (even if its just a 720p 32" one.)

 

edit: my 360 Works on the Monitor (i used it til i got my tv), and the text was very well readable (19"). and the graphics looked awesome too.

uhh, what size is your TV and how far away are you sitting?




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

i think it doesnt matter, its readable, but text IS small on SDTV. :S

As dgc said, its better on a small HD (19') then on a big SD (28') TV.

I thought he had an HD TV. Yea, developers have screwed over SD TV owners with the HD consoles as most games look on par with Wii games on a SD TV because they don't check to make sure it displays properly. As for size, I was just wondering if he had a 19" and sitting at +10ft. Most people sit way too far away for optimal viewing distance on their TVs, so I was just wondering if that was the case.

^^^ If you have a PC Monitor that can recieve DVI [mine had a port for DVI-D] there are HDMI to DVI cables that work just fine on PS3. You'll have to use something else for audio though. I use the standard composite cables that come with the system and I have an adapter to use them on my PC's speakers.

 

i dont know what kind of DVI mine has, but as i tried it via some little converter i just got a black screen, while the screens lamp was green. (received input) :S

 

 

Your monitor must have HDCP support (on dvi or hdmi input) to work with ps3.
