    Can the PS3 be hooked up to a 19 inch widescreen PC monitor (1440 x 900 resolution)?

    I in the same situation as you, 19 pc monitor which I use for the 360. However i have spent time looking around, but its doesnt seem to be able to use it with the ps3. Im assuming its a vga monitor. I think a dvi monitor might work, but you need a hdmi-dvi converter

    HDMI -DVI adapters don't work unless your monitor supports HDCP, which is rare.

    they will work you will just loose the ability to do 1080p, 720p and 1080i are still possible , also you will loose the ability to transfer audio, is have a cable i picked up in petes for my ps3, hdmi on one end dvi on the other so dont need to tag on a convertor. running quite happily on 1080i

    you can use the optical out on the ps3 to connect to an appropriate reciever i.e and amp of may be if your computers sound card has a optical input?

    Actually if you just have bog standard pc speakers like most people, use the phono av conector that came with your ps3 and buy a stereo phono to 3mm jack plug (couple of yo-yo's) and that will allow you to just plug the sound directly into your speakers.

    Remember with PS3 you have to tell it which audio output you are using - unlike the 360 which will allow spdif optical and stereo AV out at the same time, the ps3 only supports 1 audio output at a time, and you must manually choose it.
