Cannot get it to connect to monitor

select proper source from LCD setting( menu) . It may be disturbed after connecting to ps3

Have you used the HDMI cable with the PS3 before? it may be configured to use the AV connection. If so plug in an AV lead, then you would need to find in the settings to change the output to HDMI.

The HDMI cable may not work

Press windows key and P to switch between monitor modes

Try those and post back if you need more help.

Have you tried using a male DVI to female HDMI adapter?

Yes, there is. It's actually fairly simple, but there is one problem you may run into. Before bothering to buy any of the adapters or try and set anything up, check your monitor's specs and be sure it's HDCP compliant. Without this little detail, a PS3 will not play on any screen.

Now once your sure your monitor is HDCP compliant, your going to need a few things.

First, your going to need an VGA to HDMI cord, or an DVI to HDMI cord. Your monitor uses both these connections, so feel free to go with whichever works for you. You can find cords like this for cheap on Amazon, and I can vouch for this one personally, I use it and it's not given me a bit of trouble.

Now, unless your using speakers that already hooked up to the monitor, your going to need an RCA to 3.5mm adapter (Your everyday headphone jack is a 3.5mm plug.) They are really cheap, and can be found all over the place. Amazon, your local electronics store, EBay, all have these little handy objects. I can again vouch for this one personally, and I love using it, so keep this little thing handy. (Think headphones, when you don't want to use speakers.) NOTE: Make sure you get a 2xRCA to 1x3.5mm adapter, check the link above to see a picture of what your looking for.

Now, once you have both these pieces, it's time to set up your connections.


Step 1. Plug the VGA/DVI to HDMI (Let's call this Video Cord), into your monitor and PS3.

Step 2. Plug the original cord that came with your PS3 into the console as well. This cord should have an end that plugs into a TV, with one each of a Yellow, Red, and White plug. These are RCA jacks.

Step 3. Now take your little RCA to 3.5mm adapter and plug the White and Red ends into it. Don't worry about the Yellow end, this is the video plug and you don't need it now that your using an HDMI connection.

Step 4. Plug your speakers into the 3.5mm plug on your adapter. Power on the speakers.

Step 5. Now turn on the Monitor first, and then PS3. You should see the screen come on, and the PS3 should be telling you it found an HDMI connection, and would you like to switch to it. Select Yes and press X.

Step 6. Now that you can see what's on your PS3, go into the settings section of the menu. Click down to the Sound Settings choice, near the bottom, and press X. Press X again to enter the Audio Output Settings. Click down to the Audio Input Connector/ SCART / AV MULTI choice, and the press -> on the D-pad. Now press X once more and your all set!

Now go back to the menu and move around a bit, you should hear the clicking sounds as you switch to a new item. Start up a game and enjoy the sounds and sights, because your finished.

Good luck and have fun, and please feel free to leave any comments or further questions you might have in the Comments. Feedback is always welcome.

I am not sure what you mean by the "AV program". I am going to take a guess that you mean the video input channel. Well with monitors they really do not have those.

If you can let me know the exact model of monitor you have an can double check your connections and setting for you.

Now since you have a PS3 the best connection for you to be using is the DVI port on the monitor. Now since most monitors do not have an HDMI port you will neeed to get a HDMI to DVI cable.

Let me know if this is how you have it connected and are still having trouble getting the monitor to work.

aww man.......... you need an HDCP compliant Monitor for the ps3, there is a work around but that will cost you some coin to do. All i can say is go on youtube.com and type in "How to setup DVI to HDMI to play ps3 on your computer monitor" the video will explain to you what you need to do

On the back of your laptop there is a vga connector, to the left are two(2) usb connectors and the right is your network connector . You need a vga cord (if you bought the monitor new it should include one.) Plug the cord into this port and into the back of the monitor. Plug the monitor in and the laptop should recognize thatthere is an external monitor connected and switch the video output to that monitor.

Take Care

If it like my monitor, same hookups as yours, then when you want to use the hdmi port you need to disconnect the dvi cable. The monitor cannot read from hdmi & dvi when both are connected, Try this & see if your PS3 works. Good luck

I connected an audio cable from my sound card to the audio unput on the monitor and the monitor plays everything as well as my other speakers connected to my sound card. I have a Diamond multimedia sound card (7.1 setting) By the way, the monitor speakers sound "tinny" if the volume setting on the monitor is too high.

First, fire up monitor in VGA. You can then use the monitor menu to select the hdmi instead of vga. Restart andf it should work Ok.
