PS3 DVI cable?

[lazyvulture]

Does anyone know of a cable which allows DVI output from a PS3?

Dont forget to check if your screen is HDCP compliant though!

It's the OCUK 24" one. Made by DGM.

Can I use that?

Can you link to it please? IN 24 inch monitors I just see some Dell, Acer, Belinea, BenQ, NEC etc (no OCUK own brands etc).

They don't sell it any more.

iirc that lacks HDCP and so wouldn't work.

Dammit.

Sorry for the double post (Too accustomed to automerging).

How would I go about checking compatibility with my HDTV?

I don't know whether you saw my double post, but how would I check for compatibility in my HDTV?

Im guessing this is another screen? TBH if the TV has got a HDMI port then its pretty much guranteed to be HDCP compliant as the encryption is mandatory under HDMI regulations iirc. If you can try a blu-ray film via HDMI the screen goes blank if it isnt compliant. lol

It's a different screen yeah.

It was one of the first HDTVs around and as such hasn't got an HDMI port.

Also, I don't have a PS3 yet, this is all in preparation for when I eventually get round to buying one.

Youll need a PS3 Component cable then, HDCP only applies digitally, so if youre not going to be using HDMI or DVI at all, you don't need to worry about it.

Well the HDTV does DVI and Component. I just guessed DVI would be better image quality.

Getting model no. now.

Just did a quick google and looks like other people are having issues with PS3 and DVI. Yet this suggests otherwise:

A few websites Ive found say that is in fact HDCP compliant via DVI so based on this all you will need to get is a HDMI to DVI cable.

Cheers for all the help!
