Can i connect a ps3 to my computer screen, if so how?

May be...
  • My computer screen is a Acer A1716W.
  • I cannot find any info on what kind of inputs your monitor has, but the ps3 has HDMI out, for which all you need is an HDMI cable, and HDMI to DVI converter (they will sell those at any a/v store)

    That's if you have DVI in on your monitor. If you do, you'll see a white long plug, with about 30 or so pin holes and one long pin on the side.

    If you don't see that, you might instead see a blue trapezoidal plug with about 24 pin holes. That's VGA in, and PS3 doesn't support VGA out natively, but I did find a guide online for how to do it, listed below.



    But keep in mind, for both options, you'll need to do something about the audio, since neither DVI nor VGA offers audio support. The optical out is a good idea, if you have a sound system that supports optical in.
  • You could but you may need an HDMI converter to DVI and a DVI converter to VGA.



    search for it online i don't know how to explain it to you.
  • You just need an HDMI to DVI connector if your monitor supports DVI.



    You won't have sound though, so you'll have to find some other method to rig up sound. I have the 2 red/white cables in a converter that changes it to a 3.5mm plug, and have that plug into my computer stereo.
  • if you're thinking of buying a playstation 3 you should out this site first. they give you a ps3 for FREE! all you need to do is complete a few quick tasks for them.
