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.

Thanks
 
Well, the one thing you would need is a TV Tuner card for your PC. These are ready available from anywhere, essentially. Ideally, you'd want an HDTV card with HDMI input for longevity and quality issues.

HDTV cards run about $150+ last time I checked, standard tuner cards much cheaper
 
If you have a dvi connector on your moniter, all you would need is a hdmi to dvi cable and than need speakers with opitical out or whatever and you should be good to go.
 
[quote name='PocariSweat']According to Cnet your monitor should have a DVI connection. so you should be able to use a DVI to HDMI cable to connect it. That's how I do it. Check online for the cable because B&M stores are way too expensive. Try:

I've got the 15' version of that cable and it works great.
 
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.
