How do I make my monitor to play my PS3 in 16:9? It stretches the image since it's 16:10 and it doesn't officially support 16:10 monitors like my Xbox 360 does.
Ive tried this and many other methods to get my ps3 to play on my monitor but none of them work. I have a 20in Samsung SyncMaster SA350 1600x900 resoltion monitor, a DVI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable. When I pressed and held the power button on my ps3 nothing happened. I was on the DVI channel and all I get is a "Check Signal Cable" message. Dont get any ps3 message to confirm HDMI setting nothing. The cables work because I connected my laptop to my monitor fine. Can someone please help?
@Todesengel1998 I use a stereo adapter that isn't red and white but both gold. It works fine for me. Remember to switch your ps3 sound settings though, if you wan't sound.
@Todesengel1998 all the yellow adapter does is produce SD quality video. the HDMI cable does this for you, so you can just leave the yellow alone and just use the red and white
do monitors have input lag?? or should i get a hdtv..i want something that dont got input lag..its for gaming and input lag in gaming is bad especialy in cod..plz help
It's a stereo sound adapter. The PS3 outputs sound on two lines, but speakers usually only accept them on one line, so turns stereo sound into one sound.
SOMEBODY HELP!!!!! My monitor has VGA not DVI so can i get a hdmi to dvi adapter and connect it to a DVI to VGA adapter and connect it to my monitor somebody please help ASAP!!!!!!
@iphonerules2009 Hey man i have the same problem right now but i fixed it by a bit of research. Seems like you can. Just ordered the cables and adapters from amazon. !! :D
Man i really appreciate you showing how to set that 720p up manually. I've had a ps3 for years now but i just got it hooked up to my monitor. It went black after setting it up so i hit x & it worked but i wasn't super impressed. Now that i set it up like this it looks sweet. Thanks
what if you don't want to play in HD but your here to just play your ps3 on the computer so you don't have to ask ur parents to use the T.V. because u still have 1 T.V. in the house.
I used this method and it really does work, i had to remove some pins so the adapter would fit though. I got the adapter on Ebay for 3 bucks. Thanks for the video, really saved me hundreds of dollars!!!
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF I CAN RECORD MY PS3 GAMEPLAY USING MY COMPUTER. IS THERE SOME SOFTWARE OUT THERE THAT CAN CHANGE THE INPUT. PLEASE REPLY SOON.
@alres3 Subwoofer or your speakers, your speakers should have a port on the front to plug it in, if not and instead has a cable that comes out like he said then you will need that female to femle adapter, but i doubt your speakers would have that.
@alres3 Look at the speaker that has the nob to adjust the volume, there should be a little hole somewhere on it by the nobs to plug it in, the same place you would plug your headphones in.
@alres3 Well i never listed a specific color, i think you may want to take this to someone with a bit more knowledge becasue i am not sure whats causing this, the people on GiantBomb (.) com may be able to help you.
hey man I did the same things that you did and when I conect my ps3 on the monitor it poops out this messege frequency out of range 31 khz /49 hz please change to 60 hz 1280 x 1024. Can you help me please?
hey quick question, i have a turtlebeach headset (px21) and will the sound play through that if i connect the stereo adapter to my headset instead of the computer?
hi there my monitor is samsung px2370 23", do you think it can support 1080p when i use a ps3? im planning to buy soon...thanks. pls reply need ur help..thanks again bro
@tonertonki I see.. thanks..I am worried because some say the ps3 in monitors only support 720, my monitor is 23" 1920x1080, so i think it would support the 1080p settings in the ps3 ..
hi i have an acer s243hl and when my ps3 is in home screen it is at 1080p but as soon as i play skyrim or bf3 it goes down 2 720p can some1 plzplz help?
@7u8m6z nothing is wrong, that has to happen it is how the game is formatted. This has nothing to do with you. The game may say 1080p on the case but when the resolution drops to 720p thats just the maximum resolution the game can output at.
@defend25 Right click anywhere on your desktop, go to screen resolution and it will tell you the resolutions it supports. Or look up the modle on google.
i have an acer moniter just the monieter and when i turn on my ps3 and then the moniter it just says ni singnel do i need a computer to go whit the moniter for this to work
Very useful video, but I found the background music so irritating and distracting. In a tutorial I'm not interested in hearing techno music I just want to hear the tips.
i need help, please reply man. i have the same monitor as you and for a week or 2 it was running smooth on 720p and then one night i was playing MW3 and then the screen started blinking. and then it said " cannot display this video mode. optimum resolution 1280 x 1024 60hz. what i don't get is if my monitor can't display HD 720p then how come it has been working smoothly for a week, now i can only play on 576p... HELP! :(
i have a problem. i got the sound to work but my moniter has a vga port. i've read online that hdmi to vga adapter dont work either. anyone have any suggestions?
wait so how you find out the "p" your computer has i have 1440 X 900 what can i go up to in order to go in HD? and clearest quility
