PS3 Via VGA problems

chris_uk333 · 28 Jan 2011 at 02:23

I changed the PS3 to 1080p on my PS3 from the tele, then when i connected it to my pc via VGA it doesn't recognise it. The monitor is full 1080p, so that's not the problem. Any ideas?

Nah, what does that do?

resets the video output, What cable are you using to hook it up to your monitor?

Not sure what to do then sorry but i think VGA is anolog and the PS3 output is digital? do you have a DVI imput? if so you could get a HDMI > DVI cable or convertor

Don't you have to buy special cables/adaptors like the HD Fury to get VGA to work on the PS3?

Is your monitor HDCP compliant?

My Sony LCD TV will not accept 1080p with VGA, not even with Component.
HDMI > DVI connector would be better, or doesn't your monitor have a DVI connection?

If his monitor isn't HDCP compliant it simply won't work and he'd have to get one of those HD Fury things or a new monitor.

I use an HDMI -> DVI cable for my PS3 to my monitor when it's not on the main TV.

As above monitor needs hdcp

I use a vdigi ps3 to VGA cable with no issues

Set up my VGA to PS3 cable by setting it up on a tele first...It shows picture on my monitor but keeps going black, then back to normal all the time. any ideas why?
