Connecting PS3 to my LG Monitor
-
23-12-2008 3:13pm#1Hi guys,
I realise I've been bombarding this forum with queries for the past two days and I apologise for posting yet another thread!
Anyway, I was wondering if any of you were playing the PS3 on a standard LCD (PC) monitor?
You see, we have a crappy 20" conventional TV which really isn't doing justice to my shiny new PS3 and I have to sit with my nose touching the screen in order to see what's happening...
So I was thinking of hooking it up to my PC monitor which is a 20" LG L204WT-SF Flat Panel Display with DVI-D Input (not that I understand the difference between DVI-D, DVI-I and DVI-A...).
Could I do this by simply buying a HDMI to DVI cable?
Thank you in advance!

So, let me get this right:Powercity sell HDMI-DVI cables and you can get sound from the AV-MULTi cable that comes with the PS3
*You might need a phono-rca lead for your speakers ,with the av-multi*
My monitor supports HDCP so a simple HDMI to DVI cable should enable me to play on my LG monitor.
However, I don't have anything to plug into the Digital Audio output... So I have to use the Audio feed from the composite cables (red & white) that are currently plugged into the Scart Adaptor. Is that correct?
So how do I connect my headset to these composite cables? Is that what the "phono-rca lead" will enable me to do?0 -

Excellent! My headset worked straight away with Windows so I'm hoping it'll work with the PS3 too! I can't test it right now because my flatmate has her family over from Poland and they're all in the sitting room... Might give it a go when they head off to bed. If it works I'll pick up that HDMI to DVI cable tomorrow and happy days! PS3 in the bedroom!Most USB audio headsets are installed as standard USB composite audio devices in Windows anyway so it should work if the PS3 supports USB headsets as others noted.

Well guys, I finally managed to play around with my USB Headset on the PS3 and in the "Accessories Menu" (I think that's what it's called) I could see "Sennheiser USB Headset" and I could even set the microphone volume for Chat!
However, in the "Audio Menu", I could not set the USB Headset as the primary option for Sound Output. I could only choose 1) Digital Output 2) HDMI Only 3) HDMI + Composite (read & white).
Do you guys know how I can get the PS3 to use my USB Headset as the only Sound Device?
Thank you in advance! 0 -
Can't see that working stefanno ,you would need a patch at the least to route the sound through the usb bus.
Don't know what way the ps3 is designed ,but I'd say it could be done through some program though.
Don't think sony let other companies write stuff for the ps3

When I asked if I could use my USB Headset on the PS3, Clover answered "yes" but he probably meant for chatting only...Can't see that working stefanno ,you would need a patch at the least to route the sound through the usb bus.

What a pity... I consider that a major design flaw!0 -

Cool! At least now I understand how to get the sound working!Yeah stefanno ,it's just a phono to earphone jack. If you are buying a lead get yourself a female phono to earphone jack ,save you buying a coupler to join the cables together.
I'll go and get a Female Phono to Female 2.5mm Earphone Jack (if such a thing exists) or a Female Phono to Male 2.5mm Earphone Jack then a Female 2.5mm Earphone Jack to Female 2.5mm Earphone Jack in order to connect my 2.1 Speakers (these have a Male 2.5mm Earphone Jack connector).
It's messy but it should work! I just hope I'll find all these cables in the shops... 0 -

You were right to mention it though! Could have been a very frustrating mistake to make after the effort I've put in to getting the PS3 working on my PC monitor!No worries ,I wasn't been pedantic about the 2.5 ,it's usually used on nokia phones though ,just incase someone thinks your looking for something else.
Anyway, went to Maplins and they had just closed... I was gutted. So I went to Peats and found everything I needed (HDMI to DVI cable - AV-MULTI red and white phono to Male 3.5mm Jack - Female to Female 3.5mm Jack) but it cost €40 EUR! :eek:
It physically hurt my testicles handing over all that cash for a few bits and bobs...
Anyway, the main thing is, the PS3 is now in my bedroom and everything is working perfectly!
Thanks again for all your help 311 and everyone else! 0 -

Nice one ,I genuinely thought you needed speakers to amp the sound. Your headphones must have an inbuilt gain/volume on them.Steffano2002 wrote: »Anyway, the main thing is, the PS3 is now in my bedroom and everything is working perfectly!Kintarō Hattori wrote: »Tsk tsk. Had you asked for me it would have cost you less, though maybe I shouldn't consider a discount.... after all you went to Maplins first!
If fairness at least peats stuff is better quality ,maplins can sell some ebay nastiness to people.
Happy chrimbo all ,I'm playin wipeout all night.0 -
In my defense, Maplins is ALWAYS cheaper than Peats! But I'll remember to ask you first next time! :PKintarō Hattori wrote: »Tsk tsk. Had you asked for me it would have cost you less, though maybe I shouldn't consider a discount.... after all you went to Maplins first!0 -
I connected my Creative 2.1 for the sound (didn't actually try plugging in the headset directly...). The Creative speakers have a Headset Jack so I'm all sorted now!Nice one ,I genuinely thought you needed speakers to amp the sound. Your headphones must have an inbuilt gain/volume on them.
Might have to get a KVM DVI Switch though... It's a pain having to change the cables over all the time... :rolleyes:0 -
