I was wondering if a PS3 can be played on a 19 Inch wide screen TFT Lcd Computer monitor with Dvi Inputs?
If I were to connect a PS3 to my 19 inch TFT Lcd Computer monitor using a HDMI to Dvi Cable would the PS3 be able to show its High Definition Capabilities. The Monitor is also widescreen and it does support a High Definition resolution of 1460x900 with a 500:1 contrast ratio and an 8ms response time.If someone could answer this question for me I would be thankful.
Wait, Hold on Jennifer, these ppl totally ignored one point... which is the key point whether it will work or not - Doest your monitor built-in with HDCP?
1. HDCP built-in in your monitor:
If your monitor is the latest one bought within 2mths and has got HDCP built-in, then you could simply connect PS3 with a HDMI-to-DVI cable, and do some audio setting to get the HD resolution.
720p is for sure you could get, but for 1080p, it will depend on the AD board conversion in your monitor. Some monitors could do conversion for 1080p (which most of the LCD TV nowadays could do, 1080p could still display on those 1366x768 monitors), and some don't. You have to give it a google or test it yourself.
2. HDCP not built-in with your monitors:
This is quite common, bcos big FIRMS just wanna rip ppl off i guess by upgrading to HDCP-enabled monitor... I bought a "fortune" 42 inch so-called "HDTV" back in 2 years ago which was without HDCP and now want me to dump this one and get a new HDCP to be able to play Blu-Ray/HD-DVD movies or PS3 games... how unfair this is...
So I did find the solution which is GameSwitch... I have posted a few forums/threads in whirlpool and Yahoo Answers to let ppl know, HDCP is a rip-off design and big FIRMS claimed this will stop ppl from pirating, this is so not true... (1-to-1 disc copy for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD software has released, HDCP is just out there to make ppl upgrade hardware again...)
Sorry it's a bit off topic, but I hope ppl understand we could use Web 2.0 platform to express our furious about migrating to HDMI/HDCP monitors...
