Component to DVI-I/VGA/HDMI

TheDarkStorm

So I need help, I need to convert Component (PS3) to my monitor but Im not sure how! I've seen the converter boxes but they are hitting 100$ and I don't got that kind of cash! But I seen this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/DVI-I-to-RCA-Component-Display-Adapter-TV-HDTV-Projectors-Gold-Plated-Connectors-/400465400386 but im not to to sure will it work. Or if ye guys have any other idea how to get it working give me a shout. (Ive got the sound working) Thanks

I thought all PS3s had HDMI-out?

TheDarkStorm

Yea they do. Sorry, Forgot to mention that my HDMI port is broken on my PS3.

As you're most likely aware, YPbPr component video is an analogue video standard. It isn't the same as computer analogue video standards so, unless your monitor can handle YPbPr via its VGA or DVI input, you will need a standards converter of some kind, rather than just an adapter for different connection types.

Yea i knew about that but thanks! I didn't know a monitor could support YPbPr via DVI! Thanks for that I will look in to it.

So I checked up on my monitor (AOC e2343f) and its analog support is "Input RGB D-Sub" So any ideas from that?

I don't know if any can either.

Yes, RGBHV is the analogue component video type computer monitors would use. D-sub. is the connector type used with the VGA display standard.

Ok thanks for your help!
