PS3 with Acer 22" TFT Monitor X222W 1080p HD

[dongi16]

My monitor dont have DVI, but only VGA, i buy a HDMI to VGA converter box, do you think it will work?

[endcry]

now try playing any games it looks like shit.. i tried some 1080p games on my new LG monitor (1080p native 16:9), it all looked jaggy and pixelated.. so don't ever buy monitor for ps3 trust me i;ve learned the lesson hard way T_T

[DiEg0123]

@endcry Probably its your monitor. There are many people using decent LCD monitors to play ps3 games and no complaints at all. :)

[ChippiAble]

@DiEg0123 does this work on a acer x192w?

[marfg12345]

@endcry first of all your shit was probably on 560p or something

don't be arrogant just because you don't understand technology

[MontageReflex]

@marfg12345 he said right in his comment "1080p" not "560p". First of all there is no 560p that I am aware of. Secondly learn to read.

[chrisys93]

man... i have a 22 inch monitor like yours buts its a viewsonic.. i hooked it up to my ps3 with hdmi to dvi, the XMB looks crisp and great but when i go to any game i see noticable jaggies compared to my old standard tv.

[DiEg0123]

@chrisys93 Yeah it does that on some lcd. I guess it has something to do with quality of lcd. or probably the cable that you are using.

overall, its the cheap solution not to buy lcd tv anyway. so its ok i guess..

[chrisys93]

@DiEg0123 i noticed that turning down sharpness level on my monitor helped a bit, looks noticeably better, hopefully i can find other options to play around with. does your acer have jaggies?

[DiEg0123]

@chrisys93 No, my acer did not have jaggies. it was fine. But there was a down side. This acer was failed after a year and half. Well.. most of the acer would do...

[clockendboy]

Hey, do you use your PC with this too?

And another question, are there in built speakers on this monitor if so are they up to scratch?

[DiEg0123]

@clockendboy I don't have this monitor anymore. It burnt out last year. I would suggest you to get another brand with at least 23" HDCP support. You can get with about £160 or less in these days. Or just get monitor with 1080p/i HDMI support. I now have 24" Samsung monitor and its awesome.

They did have built-in speakers as far as I can remember but its shit. I think 5 watts on each speakers.

[teutonicpenguin]

OMG OMG OMG 1080p!!!!!!!!!!! WTF is with the ending?

[dorrandwebb]

i have a question i will set up my ps3 to 1080p and the system and tv will say its in 1080p but when i start a game for exaample killzone3 it changes to 720p idk why plz help

[endcry]

@dorrandwebb coz killzone 3 runs at 720p

[jeeeerpa]

LED or TFT???? plzz help me

[CooCooCowi]

cool dude

[TheClearHD]

Acer x223w FTW , nice vid though Good Luck!

[endeverafter2]

really really ps3 plus cmon really

[fatmanlee7]

any idea why it wont work?

[Georgedvx]

because his monitor has dvi input and his using a dvi to hdmi cable

[razaque123]

i have a viewsonic va1912w it has a dvi place i used a hdmi to dvi but my screen stays black do you know why?????

[qAyyUm]

how do u connect ur ps3 with PC?

[BadashaZeus]

My monitor has a native resolution of 1920x1080 (1080p) but it only has a D-Sub and VGA socket, not an HDMI socket.

If I got an HDMI to VGA converter cable would a PS3 display 1080p on the monitor?

PLEASE ANSWER, THANKS!

[DiEg0123]

@BadashaZeus No. It wont work with VGA. Must be HDMI or DVI with HDCP Support.

[sikhsavage]

@Cr1ms0nnn you can only get up to 1080i on a 1680x1050

[supra1702003]

@sikhsavage no because its restricted to 1680x1050,its better to get one that supports 1920x1080i/p

[KINGkramerFB]

DO you know if this will work with my ps3 slim? I have tried it on 2 monitors and they both wont play video . PLEASE REPLY.

[XxHaThAwAy18xX]

my monitor says out of range when i plug it into ps3

[LooneyTo0n]

One really bad thing about using a monitor as a ps3 screen is upscaling. Yes, it's really nice, when the ps3 is outputting a 1080p content, but when it gets to 720p or worse games, the graphics quality gets really bad. Much worse than tvs. That's because monitors are made to be used with their native resolutions, so they're not equipped with good scaling chips, unlike tvs. I just changed an Asus VH242H 1080p monitor, which I used with my ps3 with a Samsung LE32B530 and things are a lot better ;)

[18CaStRaDoMiS89]

@LooneyTo0n

Most PS3 games run natively at 720 anyways.

[atproductions10]

i could get a 23'' acer h233h hd monitor with built in speakers,hdmi port, 1080p OR Crypton LCD TV 26" supports only 720p...i want to use it for my ps3,what should i get? i think the monitor would be a better thing....

[DiEg0123]

@atproductions10 haha really up to you! I think I would get LCD as I can also use my computer.

[Abthebest13]

@atproductions10 23 1080p allwaays go for the higher resilution

[Airfilterer]

i have a samsung syncmaster and im not sure if i have my pc hooked up to it correctly so that its showing in HD my graphics card is a HD RADEON so it should be showing in hd. the cable im using is a dvi to dvi connector

[ozzymx95]

do u have nothing better to do insted of masterbaiting xxx lmao

[Sandwarrior3]

my samsung hd ready can just do 1080i , but it's also nice

[MrClutch55]

Hey are 22inch acer computer monitors good for gaming because i cant play on widescreen for some reason it screws my gameplay up?

[NOnameOUCH]

Just got my monitor, and want to hook it up to my ps3, Ive got a HDMI in my tower unit, but not on the screen itself, is it possible to just put my ps3s HDMI cable into the tower or i need special wires to hook it up?

Thanks in advance.

[dannyskater]

Hi! Could you tell me about the black colour on that lcd? Is it good or it has some back-light bleed? I'm planning on buying it but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

[takezo1977]

why...why...are you people never showing the cables :P

[zahidmasih7]

i dont have a dvi port at the bak of my monitor i only have a vga port but i do have one at the back of my hardrive would that work ?

[DiEg0123]

no. u need dvi which support HDCP.

[zahidmasih7]

i just cheeked it it just says dvi and it is a acer computer and so is my monitor do u think it will still work beacuse see how the vga port in my hardrive it is right next to the dvi port this is my hardrive model aspire l3600 if u dont mind can u google it and get bak to me asap plzz and sorry about the rush thanx

[DiEg0123]

Not sure why you are talking about harddive.

Check your monitor spec. Does it support HDCP and is your monitor bigger than 22 inch? if so, you might have a shot.

[zahidmasih7]

erm i just spec it and it does support HDCP thats one of its features but it dosent have the dvi port at the back of it so it just might work with the dvi port thats in my hardrive ?

[DiEg0123]

Nop.. Without DVI port, it will not work. dvi must be at the back of the monitor or it will not work. sorry.

[zahidmasih7]

thats shite

[Followingalegend]

@DiEg0123 thanks for actually saying in the more info what you need but how can i be sure it supports HDCP atm i have a dvi cable plugged in and running at 1920 x 1080 does that mean i support it cos i got no clue im new to this area of stuff xD

[triked14]

do i need a tower/desktop/the thing connectedto monitor on a computer.....do i need one of those for me to use a a monitor ONLY for ps3 gameplay? im short on cash and i don't want to pay more than i have to.

[EpiphoneGuitarist]

No, you only need a Monitor that has a HDMI output bulit in and then plug in the monitor

[eatinmadwaffles]

dude i love you so much for some reason someone set my system on a shitty ass 480p and i didnt know how to fix it till now thank you so much

[MrNightwings74]

GAmes already come in 1080p it depends if your video card supports it. Meaning PC gamers enjoy 1080p and 2560x 1600 but those monitors are way too expensive for now.

[ChristyTV]

1080p monitors are actually very affordable!

[manhunt202]

igot my acer g24 best gaming monitor :D

[maxxikhmer]

I have this problem where the firmware 2.8 I can play DVD in 1080p on my LCD but after upgraded to firmware v3.00 my DVD can no longer played. It just black out the whole LCD and nothing work, I have to do a reset to get back my screen again. Anyone have this problem? But the dvd works with 1080i but not 1080p anymore.

[EpiphoneGuitarist]

Try setting the resolution to 720P or 1080i on the PS3?

[bonerjam10]

Anyone know why dvd don't work with the monitor? I seriously have no clue.

[crazyboy47]

2 ms????

[lbj23clutch]

How do you know what resolution your HD tv supports? I have a 42 inch PANASONIC HD PLASMA TV. But I don't know up to what resolution it supports.

I just bought a component av cable to play in HD, hopefully my HD TV supports 1080p.

[DiEg0123]

Check your tv manual? It should say 720p or 1080p. Most of the games run in 720p as of now anyway. But future 3D games may be 1080p.

[lbj23clutch]

Okay my TV supports up to 720p and 1080i, but I don't know which one is better... Which do you prefer???

[DiEg0123]

well 1080i would be sharper of course but again, most of the games are still 720p. So it will change back to 720p on the games that does not support 1080p. All up to you :)

[JamesWorldStudios]

Actually 1080p is better and sharper. As you can see on this video it goes from the top to bottom to the highest definition, 1080p is progressive 1080i is just Interlaced.

[virgozero]

@JamesWorldStudios hes saying 1080i is sharper than 720p but 720p looks better in the end because its progressive. Ofcourse 1080p looks teh best, but given between 720p and 1080i, im sure gamers rather choose 720p and actaully every1

[paulbabbitt]

You can't play full 1080p without either a vga/dvi cable or a HDMI cable. All 3 of these are capable of achieving 1080p.

[grandtheftauto1233]

"The down side of using some of the tft monitors (including this) will be:

-Cannot play PS1 or PS2 games

-Cannot play DVD movies"

thats because your PS3 isnt a 80 gig....

[ThdeGreatestOne]

or 60 gig

[DiEg0123]

true, mine is not 60Gigs but I have tested with my friend's ps3 and it doesn't work. It is because this type of monitor does not support ps2 resolution.

I changed my monitor to samsung 24" already. This one can watch DVD :)

[zeroOo19]

virtual fighter 5 is a shit

[DiEg0123]

well i sold it already.. :D

[djfarisk]

mine dont come up for some reason

[shaderidder153]

Yh, I just got a Toshiba 32in 1080p Tv. There is a difference because the motion blur is reduced slightly compared to 720p. Its worth going the extra £100 or so.

[XxSavotagexX]

Can someone please help me!

I bought a Asus 23" 1080p Monitor, and set the PLAYSTATION 3 to HDMI - 1080p, because I have a HDMI cable running from my PS3 to the HDMI port on the Monitor. And in games the picture looks fucking terrible. Spent alot of money because I knew it would look well, and it just looks CRAP! Any ideas?

[cwapface2]

if a game can only do 720p and you have disabled that resolution, it will default to 480 upscaled to 1080

[bmthnumber1]

It doesn't worthy... 1080p on a 22" screen...

You can hardly note the diference.

[DiEg0123]

read the comment.. this if for those people who do not want to buy big ass tv and want to play in the small room and stuffs. Not to get 1080p in $150 monitor.

everybody know they have to buy big expensive tv to take advantage of 1080p. you dont have to say.

[jevar45]

add me on psn ragna30390

[willneverstop]

the ending wtf????/

[kanyeeast32]

haha agreed!!!

[DiEg0123]

me too! :D

[AbovePerfect]

Let me ask you something pal. It's really important for me, so please respond. What settings do you use? I have a Monitor TV like that (23'' 1080p) and i don't know how to set it in order to look perfect. Can you please tell me your settings? (e.x. Contrast: 90, Brightness 55 etc) Thanks!

[wildreams]

U need to calibrate your monitor screen using the "colored bars" u can get over the internet.

[comanche119]

xbox is just fine......oh ya sure xbox cost money to go online but it makes you get a job and work for the money to get the fucking card.

[AtlantiXYL]

how come some time it says unsupported input?

[iChronex]

Is it the p223w

[RetroGameLover]

Can you help me? I have my PS3 connected to my DVI monitor it works, but for some reason when I use 720p option the screen gets cut off. Anyway to fix this? Monitor is 16:9 and it doesn't have any adjustments when outputing video on DVI.

[Tmontana28]

is the picture quality same as lcd tv?

[XainGM]

Um, Acer X222W 22" Widescreen TFT Monitor only supports up to 1680x1050 resolution.

[drummertazz]

should i ask you why you have a video of dancing girls on your ps3??

[wildreams]

hmm.. i think u shouldn't ask if u should ask this question.

[DiEg0123]

agree :D

[AbovePerfect]

Let me ask you something man. Can I watch tv with that monitor? I want to an full HDtv for my PS3 and as you may know the prices are high... So a tv monitor would be ok, as long as it supports tv signal.. Also can you tell me if the sound is satisfactory? Thanks!

[DiEg0123]

You will need to get component. Just google and you will find something that will connect to your monitor straight.

[AbovePerfect]

Alright ;) Ty. The sound is ok? How much did you get it?

[DiEg0123]

nah i dont watch tv with my monitor (yet). but i will be soon.

I can either get eyetv for my mac and connect to my monitor or get a tuner box which output to vga or dvi .

[AbovePerfect]

nice i guess... How much??

[RetroGameLover]

I have Acer X223HQB monitor which is only 21,5 inches and it supports full HD (1920x1080). It doesn't matter what size your monitor is.

[Mozzinrath]

Can any wise guy tell me what should be the optimum size of your monitor to obtain the best graphics from the ps3????

[Mikedude97]

will it work with a monitor with an hdmi input and u just use a hdmi cable?

[larry1257]

i got a sharp and its 26 panel flat screen does it support 1080p n plus whats better 480i 720p 1080i 1080p tell me plz like go in order of whats best

[CoRnHuSkErS2015]

Best - 1080p , 720p , 1080i , 480p , 480i - worst

[mench566]

thank you very much was doing it blind

[lucasbritomarinho]

how could you get 1080p if your monitor is 16:10? and has 1680x1050 as standard resolution?

[MoonOvIce]

I think he doesn't mention his monitor's standard resolution, I have an ASUS 22'' panel and it does 1920x1080 (1080p) and it also has HDMI with HDCP support which I haven't tried yet.

[lucasbritomarinho]

but i searched on the net and i discovered that it´s max resolution is 1680x1050

[MoonOvIce]

Which monitor? I have an ASUS VH22H, which is one of the few 16:9 widescreen PC monitors (instead of 16:10).

[lucasbritomarinho]

I'm talking about the person who made the video

[ZedProductions7]

Okay, I have a HP monitor that is HD, it's w2007v.

It's 19".

I really want to connect me PS3 to it, because my TV is crap.

Can someone tell me, is what is in the description of this video, what I need? If I get it, will it work?

[shadowsharpshooter]

oh sorry, Acer H233H full HD 1080 and HDMI cable 23" in my country only $165..X222W only $140-$145 but not HDMI out put

[AndersonRfc1]

22" :L

[shadowsharpshooter]

in my country this LCD only $150..cheap because made in my country..this so good for gamer..Full HD 1080p...

[rawimpact]

its 150 in US too moron...

[GamerWeazle69]

I just hooked up my HDMI cables to my ps3 and to my 1080p HDTV and the picture is awesome! but it is kinda slow. when i click something on the controller it is late

[gregysuper]

dang ur ms must be more than 5:P

[joel44w]

my gaming monitor is 2 :D

[panda4chinese]

if you use a computer monitor does it cut off lik an inch of the picture, becuz i hav a friend who has this same monitor and it cuts off about a inch off the edge

[Clarkytoons13]

my 1080p is all fuzzy does this mean it doesent support it ?

[badongdi]

if it diddnt support it then it would not show up at all

[garrick2007]

DVI is HDMI without audio, their is near if not any difference if anyone is wondering

[Joshuaelectronicsinc]

where do u have the audio connected.....becuz my samsung lcd HD doesnt have an audio port

[Sittalakkuja23]

thanks !!

[emmcus03]

hey there,

ive got a hdmi-dvi cable and connected it all up to my monitor. but my screen just goes blank, i think it detects something because when there is no input to the monitor, there is a message floating about the screen saying something about a screentest or something.

the monitor i have is a Dell E207WFP 20" widescreen monitor.

i've tried doing the force display trick (the 2 beeps) but still not getting anything.

can someone please help me?

thanks

[fdxnaoseinomes]

you have to buy hdfury

[khroness]

how to switch between pc and ps3 with 1 lcd?

[khroness]

MY LG226WTQ does not able to go to 1080p..

[603933]

i cant get my ps3 to scan for a 1080p it just does 180i automatically no matter wat i press, ne way i can fix that?

[motosportjunkie]

oh ya and do you get any blurs with the 4ms response

[motosportjunkie]

i was going to do the same exact thing when i got a new tv same monitor and everything,i figured it was cheaper than buying an hdtv i bought the cable online then when i went to buy the monitor i realized that it would have no sound. ended up getting a vizio 22' but how did you get sound? i run the HDMI cable to tv then use av cable (audio only) to hook up to surround sound

[bl00dbon3]

You need a HDMI to DVI Cable too hook up your ps3

[iggyy]

why dont dvds work, my ps3 cuts oout

[hokienation3]

whats the cable called

[ALittleSomethngExtra]

DVI to HDMI

[mongoloeyd]

i have a monitor that supports hdmi cant i just run a hdmi cable between ps3 and the monitor? or is it necesarry to have hdmi-dvi konverter?

[ALittleSomethngExtra]

yea, if u have a HDMI Connection on ur Monitor, than u can get a HDMI Cable

[mongoloeyd]

yeah it shows the picture for 5 seconds then the screen gets black, i can turn it on and same thing happends, i have tried with vga/dvi same thing... do u know whats wrong?

[ALittleSomethngExtra]

oo, than ur Monitor probably doesnt support the display of 1080p, or the wire is loose, if you bought a $20 HDMI, it could be messed up

[desertman123]

All HDMI cables are exactly the same. It works or it doesn't. Nothing else. Buy the 2 dollar HDMI cables on Amazon instead of $100 Monster ones in Best Buy

[elitedw]

monster is a rip off beyond a doubt. But a good cable would still cost $20-$50. This comes down to the manufacturing of the cable itself. Some cost more some cost less. Its like a Quality over Quantity over rip off.

[mongoloeyd]

it does support 1080p but still i connected it to the computer with dvi and same thing happend..

[UNTAM3DHiTMAN]

what monitor do you have? if it had hdmi on it

[taumagalahi]

please upload a sample of gameplay on this monitor in high quality. either VF 5 or metal gear solid 4 or gta 4 if you have those. I'm considering buying one but I need to see a quality gameplay sample. picky shopper. thanks.

[qwertydobe]

I have a dell 24" pc monitor with hdmi ports. Can I connect a ps3 console to it, or it still needs to have built-in hdcp?

[fahddoggz]

yea u can

[bmw144]

And how will you listen to sound if u connect to an DVI inpunt on the monitor like example the l220x (which has 1920x1200 resolution) how will be the image on it cause the ps2 has 1920x1080 and can i put the speakers into ps3 or from where i will be listening to the sound if the monitor hasn't speakers in himself?

[juanermaky]

Hello from Spain.

[edudrepus]

The Acer X222W 22" Widescreen TFT Monitor has a 1680x1050 resolution. How can it display 1080p? 1080p=1920x1080

[mobiletone]

i was just going to bring that up, it must just downscale the input to the 1680x1050 resolution. bet it still looks nice though. i have built a real 1080p display using a crt monitor, find the video in my collection.

[sbarkeri]

It does downscale it to 1680X1050 but on a 22" you can see next to no difference in the picture quality.

[mobiletone]

aah, i beg to differ, i can notice the difference on my 22" CRT, less jaggies, maybe on an lcd it's not so noticable as the display is created differently. but a true 1080p game does look better running at full hd than 720p (wipeout, gran turismo, ridge racer)

[nerddna]

good question ... what the hell do you see

[ryan0500]

Hi, i've got the ps3 working on the x222w (thanks to this video), but for some reason it just won't play regular DVDs, let alone upscale DVD! When i try the screen just goes blank and says 'input not supported'. Blu-ray plays fine, it's just DVD that's a problem. It's driving me crazy. Any idea?

[BlackTwister999]

what is the meaning of TFT ?

[LightGalaxy07]

tft means what?

[Danieljfletcher]

Is this supposed to be better than my 40" 1080p LCD Sony TV?

[firestormcomputers]

depends, is it a Bravia?

[Danieljfletcher]

Yes

[Danieljfletcher]

yes

[firestormcomputers]

Bravias are really good, but I don't know which is better, it depends which game you are playing too

[Gamersunited22]

Fucking Brands..... Just because its a SONY BRAVIA !

Its fucking a fucking tv.... ! ffs.......

and before you say that im anoyed because i dont have one... i have a HD projector.... which was the less known one and works just as well

[firestormcomputers]

Don't be stupid, Bravias look really good, better than Samsungs but like twice the price, but don't cuss at me, not appreciated

[JayMont07]

samsung > sony

[elnaturaldude]

Sorry but samsung lcd beats any tv. I used work at sears about a year ago and we had to choose the best hd setup for a blu ray demo. Samsung kicked all the other brands ass, hands down!!!!

[Fastracing]

you need a 24" TFT for really 1080p

[HotAznCharacters]

hey i have the same monitor as you

the ACER X222W 22''

i was wondering how do you hook up a ps3 on this monitor cuz so far i have it hooked up to my TV.

[Shpackz123]

[hallowarum]

[superstarscum]
