Thanks for the script. I made some improvements to it and thought they might be interesting for other PS3 users.

I’ve tried many times to get this work but I’m still not getting any picture, what am I doing wrong?

My understanding is that you’ll need to have a PC speaker and have an adapter to connect the 2 colored cables (Red, White, Yellow) with the PC speaker. I’m thinking of getting 2 female to 1 female adapter as the speaker has a male jack as well.

That is in regards to the Audio.

For the video, just to summarize everything, all you need is a HDMI to DVI cable, am I correct?

And just to make things a bit more complicated, if I’m planning to use the monitor for my PC as well, do I need a switch or something? Cuz it won’t be efficient to plug&unplug cables just to switch between PC and PS3.

I can see the image with an outstanding resolution but again..I need the sound.

HELP

I am refering to the dvi split connector, that is to go to your DVI and then the split go to one pc and one ps3. So my question is, this dvi split connector is for 1 input to 2 output, so this wont work on then, is that right?

i suppose the lcd monitor is the output, and both the pc and ps3 is input, so ….. anyone know of this or have used this, please help. Much appreciated.

hi! in response to your questions:

1. yes, since the monitor has multiple inputs (all different thought, notice the blue connector on my picture, that is my PC via VGA)

2. you just click the button in front on the monitor that changes the input.

3. well the sound is treated separate I have a bose system with multiple inputs which i use for my computer and PS3. (you can configure the PS3 to send the audio through a different cable like RCA or digital or even the HDMI cable completely independent on how the video is output it. )

1. So, will this work if this were to be used to connect both pc and ps3 to one monitor?
2. If this works, how would one switch between ps3 and pc?
3. How to get sound in this case?

Thanks in advance.
