Packard Bell monitor, PS3 sucks on it


Recommended Posts

Well the title says it all, im getting like 480i from my PB monitor and its really bad, I can hardly read the text!

Is there anyway to convert it, on pc mode it has a 1280x768 resolution (its 17") and I want to use the monitor and PS3 to its full abilites!

Is there anyway I can convert it, it doesnt have component or HDMI, just RGB, PC, Scart

Thanks :D

There are many adapters available on the market for this sort of thing.

not likely, as HDMI requires HDCP encryption. looks like you need either a new monitor or a new telly.

what i thought ! :)..

although i have seen this: HDFURY - HDMI TO RGB CONVERTER would do the job, but is pricey.

HDfury is a revolutionnary product that allows you to use in full resolution (1080p) any HDMI/DVI device on PC monitor, video projector or older HDTV/Plasma that are without a HDMI entry!

If you own a high quality monitor/projector/tv that does not have a HDMI connector you need this device, it will save you from buying a new expensive screen to enjoy 1080p resolution when your screen can already support it!

HDfury module will transform any "technically able" ANALOG display into a DIGITAL display performing a perfect visual HD&Full HD fury @ 720p/1080p from any HDMI/HDCP sources such as PS3, X360 Elite, HD-DVD&Blu-Ray player, SAT&Cable HDTV setbox, HDMI graphic card, and more.

I think you'd be better off in the long run saving and getting a half decent tft and a hdmi to dvi cable, off top of my head about ?150 would do.

ultimately I recommend picking up a proper tv though, maybe you should take a look at the likes of a 23'' samsung. I use my tv for many different things.

my set up is like this

PS3 and Wii connected to 26'' Samsung HDTV via HDMI and component respectively

PC outputting DVI to 19'' Samsung monitor, with secondary output to TV's VGA port

makes life so much easier not having to share the same screen, I can can browse web while watching movies/playing games.
