Hi i was wondering if I can play my ps3 on my computer monitor since it has a better picture than my tv. I have a Dell 1905FP monitor, also what cables would I need to do such a thing.

HDTV cards run about $150+ last time I checked, standard tuner cards much cheaper

You have to make sure your monitor is compatible with a certain signal type. Newer monitors have no problem but I had a 20.1 widescreen Dell from about 3 years ago which did no work with the signal.
