I need this in order to play my PS3 on a decent enough screen ( both my TVs are utter shit ).

So, is this what I need?

I assume that long HDMI cable already comes with the PS3 and I just need to plug that into the end? Correct?

Thanks.

Zimm, if you only lived closer.... I'm sitting here at work looking at about 25 of them in my drawer. Want me to mail you one? You probably want to play it sooner than I could get it there.

After looking more closely at the ones I have, they are like exactly the same thing as you're looking at, but have more pins on the DVI end like this one: I wonder what the difference is... DVI-i vs DVI-d or something???

OMG PICS!

Pretty sure mine is DVI-D, but I have no idea what the difference is.

Also, it would probably cost you the same amount of money to post it as it would cost me to buy one.

True dat.

It'd be even easier if you'd just move to Seattle. Come on over man!

You didn't get one with your Graphics Card?

And yes, that's what you need. You won't get sound through it though, but I'm sure you know that.

No, I already know how to get sound through my speakers.... I think.

Use the white and red cable and then adapter to 4.5mm jack into speaker system, like the xbox, right?

ya, and then you'll probably have to mess around in the settings. .Sup uses HDMI Video and Optical Audio, he'll probably know what to do with the settings...

As for the DVI-D and DVI-I stuff;

Wikipedia wrote:
As well as digital signals, the DVI connector includes pins providing the same analog signals found on a VGA connector, allowing a VGA monitor to be connected with a simple plug adapter. This feature was included in order to make DVI universal, as it allows either type of monitor (analog or digital) to be operated from the same connector.

The DVI connector on a device is therefore given one of four names, depending on which signals it implements:

DVI-D (digital only)
DVI-A (analog only)
DVI-I (integrated, digital & analog)
M1-DA (integrated, digital, analog & USB)

Graphics card came with PC, so no adaptor that way.

Is there a possibility of one coming with my monitor ( if I can find it's case, lol ).

I doubt it, but worth the shot. My brother recently bought a new (albeit crappy) LG, and it didn't include one. He also bough a pre-built PC and it DID come with the adapter. Might as well see if you still have the box/whatever.

I'm pretty sure my (well, my brother's) PS3 didn't come with an HDMI cable.

No the PS3 doesn't come with a HDMI cable, it comes with that ....what's it called, composite SD cable (which could be used for your sound)
Yeah, just plug the HDMI into the adaptor and then the adaptor into your Monitor

PS - does your monitor support HDCP?

And pretty sure my friend's PS3 came with an HDMI cable. Long, thin and black. Maybe only the new ones include it?

Spoiler (highlight to read):
inb4 thats what she said

I think he's going to be using his computer screen, which I believe is a Samsung Pebble ~20".

I use this. I have a HDMI -> DVI connector for my PS3 that I use with a 22" Lenovo monitor. I can't complain, it's running a decent resolution, compared to composite, which just sucked ass.

I use the included audio cables for sound though, hooked them up to a separate receiver and speakers.

Same, I have my Samsung 20" set up with my X360 with a DVI -> HDMI adapter and its not bad at all.

Doesn't connecting a PS3 to a monitor kinda defeat the purpose? why not just play the games on your computer? (Unless you want to play PS3 exclusive games i guess)

HDMI cable = $5.

lol?

~ Batman : I have the VGA output cable for the X360 and I do that with my Samsung. The picture is just so much better than on my TVs, which is why I am aiming for doing the same with the PS3.

Little Babt Jesus : Not really. I count my monitor as a TV basically. I watch most movies on it and I sit on a comfortable chair when watching or playing. It's just like having a very decent TV without the HD plus side of it. I really don't want to connect up my PS3 to a shitty CRT TV. The picture quality is horrendous.
