They have DVI to VGA cables. I know. I am using one. :)

That requires a DVI-I output, which outputs both analog and digital signals - most all video cards have this. You can not go from digital to analog and vice versa simply with a cable. The cable isn't doing any conversion, your video card simply outputs both formats from the same port.

HDMI is digital only so there's no way you can connect to VGA without going through some kind of converter hardware.

I am fallen. :(


I still cannot believe that Sony does not have VGA support for the PS3.

I have to use software to convert my PS2 signals to the D-sub connection on my monitor. I was hoping the PS3 would not have such a problem.

This is why I buy PC games. :D

It doesn't have HDCP that I know of. So I can't use PS3 with this monitor?

Since I'm using the analog monitor input with the analog TripleHead2Go, I was hoping to use the digital input for a console... but the 360 would use the VGA input?

Vroshnak, read your pm's :wink:

It says it's Vista certified. I believe that HDCP support is one of the requirements for HDCP certifications.

This is definately my monitor(s). The one on newegg is maybe slightly different?

It says it's Vista certified. I believe that HDCP support is one of the requirements for HDCP certifications.

I'm trying to confirm that a "Vista certified" monitor definately has HDCP support. So far, no luck.

It's a big deal to me because if my monitor is HDCP compliant, I'm going to buy a PS3.

My monitors are NOT HDCP compatible.

I purchased a KWorld TVBox1440. Cable TV looks great on my 1680x1050. PS2 is a little blurry, but playable. Picture in picture capability is nice. I may return the box for one with 1680x1050 support, but I doubt it would look much better.

For PS2 this works with a lot of games.

You get 480p, 720, and 1080 for tv and 640x480 up to 1280x1024 for vga resolutions.

480p usually has the least modification of the image for HDTV. Otherwise you would need scaling for best picture.

VGA works straight depending on your connection. There are component to VGA cables that can be ordered online. Monitor scaling works best but is not needed. No widescreen.

I would give you screenshots but it is on the second monitor input with no video card. Sorry :(
