    Can you use your ps3 with an LCD monitor instead of a tv ? If so, how?

    The monitor is pretty new but doesn't have a hdmi input. it's an AOC budget model sold by pc world.

    Cheers I'll pick up one of those cables. I should have been more careful when buying the monitor.

    Does that work for audio too or is another cable required?

    That splits and L and R audio out to a 3.5 female jack that can go into PC Speakers.

    Does the monitor support DVI?

    If so you can use a hdmi to dvi cable...

    and a playstation component cable for the sound.
