Suitable LCD for PS3?

Stickboy · 8 Nov 2010 at 14:22

I want to put my PS3 in my study, and use one of my computer monitors as display. Currently I have a 17" Hyundai and a 24" Digimate. Now the 17" doesn't have a high enough res to support the PS3, and the Digimate isn't HDCP compliant.

So currently I'm looking at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-137-SA&groupid=17&catid=949&subcat=

Anyone else using this, or can recommend a 22" LCD for use with a PS3?

That monitor only has a VGA input so you would need a VGA lead to use it. You would be better going for something with a HDMi input or something with a DVi and using a HDMi to DVi lead. You will need another way of getting sound as well.

Something like this

Thanks for the heads-up. As it happens I've spotted a Benq on special offer;

One of the reviews says it's been used with a PS3, but there's no detail as to getting the audio output. Any suggestions?

Stickboy, I bought this.

Haven't got it yet, but does seem good for the money. Is HDMI, and has speakers, which I have read are good for monitor speakers. If you can stretch to that amount then it is a good buy.
