HDMI to DVI-D question.

[Radioactive_Man]

Hello

I just bought a PS3 today. Which is an amazing piece of technology I might add. Anyway I wanted to know if this cable is what I need to get HDMI on my Computer Monitor?

I know it says so in the URL I just wanted to make sure it is the one right since I saw that their is 3 different kinds of DVI ports.

Thank you for any help.

First things first, buy from Monoprice.

Second, find out if your monitor is HDCP compatible.

If so, you're good to go.

First off thank you for the quick response. Second I have this monitor it says in the other features section "f-Engine, DVI-D w/ HDCP" Meaning it would work correct? Sorry about asking again I just want to make sure I get the right product.

Yeah, you're good.

I use a 19" lcd as well and my cables are from Monoprice. Everything works great.

I was wondering, when you hook it up to a 16:10 monitor, like 1440x900, what resolution does it show up as on the PS3? 720p?

Mine shows at whatever resolution the PS3 is outputting. So 1280x720 for 720p. However, I think it fills up the whole screen, so I'm not sure what the difference would be when compared to a 16x9 screen. I don't have my PS3 with me now so I can't even check.
