As title says is it possible to run the PS3 on the Viewsonic VX2025wm 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor? Just I wasn't going to bring it to uni, but having withdrawel symptons!

My only concern is that it appears the LCD doesn't have HDCP so will a HDMI to DVI work? (sound will be fine through soundcard).

Yep :)

Its fine on mine
ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

I have a vx2025wm and I've been running my PS3 through a 15" TV!!! because I've not seen anywhere that this thing supports HDCP!

I can't believe it!

I haven't tried it because I just assumed it wouldn't work - I'm gonna go buy a cable tomorrow though!

if this works then all I need is something to get 5.1 signal to my speakers - I think that might be expensive though :(
 
Post how it goes, if it works for you I shall get a cable.

As for sound I have an idea but it wont result in surround sound but will cheap and easy (but this isn't my primary setup so not too bothered)
 
doesn't work on mine. and I was all excited there.

I tried with a HDMI to DVI cable, not HDMI-HDMI with a DVI adapter though.

:(

I wonder if there has been a panel revision of that monitor that enabled or allowed suppot for HDCP? Were you an early adopter with that monitor mate?
 
I wouldn't be surprised if that was right actually, I got mine at the end of march last year, not sure when they were released.
 
Thats rubbish :(

I got mine about a 10-11months ago now. Not sure what to do, maybe just wait 9weeks until I finish uni and then wont have to worry about it. But is along time not to have my ps3 :(
 
I'm actually so sad that i'm saving up for a 24" monitor just for the 1080p :p
Then I shall get a PS3, made a promise that if I would spend 400+ on a PS3 then I might as well get the best visual equipment for it :D
Will of course run it through an X-fi with an optical cable :rolleyes:
 
Yeah I have 1080p at home, not that its too much use atm apart from on GT:HD and blu-ray. But wanted 2 bring ps3 2 uni and dnt wana put it on the tv I brought up 4 the house, was hoping 2 use it on my pc screen but is looking unlikely.

Which one you after the Dell 2405? It has some problems with some of the resolutions after reading around because I was after one of these monitors too. Have a read around mate.
