PS3 on Syncmaster 226 - Help Please

themacdaddy

Hi All,

I want to play my PS3 through my Samsung Syncmaster 226 (see link below)

http://www.microstorm.com/Samsung_Syncmaster_226_BW_22_WIDESCREEN/partinfo-id-347485.html

Can any one tell me what connection I need to play it and where I can get it?

The only connection at the back of the monitor is the PC Monitor one that goes from the pc to the monitor.

Thanks in advance.

If your monitor has a dvi port
the easiest would be to get a hdmi to dvi cable like

Theres probably a ps3 vga cable aswell but that might be harder to find

Thanks mate. ye It does have the dvi connection I think. Do you know what i can do about the sound as I have 5.1 logitech speakers....can I just connect the ps3 to the speakers also?

What model Logitech speakers are they and does it have an optical input for digital 5.1 sound.

Ye i read that earlier before I posted and to be honest my simple mind was confused!

ok so I get a dvi -hdmi cable and plug PS3 into Monitor

get the male/female adapter and plug from ps3 into speakers?

Do you think Harvey Normans have that adapter your talking about?

If you mean the hdmi-dvi cable, i imagine HN would have them but i would strongly advise just gettin one on ebay where you wont be robbed. It should cost you a few euro max on ebay. If i remember correctly, a while back i went to pcworld lookin for a hdmi-dvi cable and their cheapest ones were 50e :eek::eek:.
