SSD Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hi all Just wondering if anyone could help me out. I was wondering is it possible to connect the ps3 to the laptop monitor? I've bought a VGA to HDMI cable on ebay but I don't know if that'll help.

Day Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Don't think laptops have inputs only outputs as standard, could be wrong but I'm pretty sure as usual I'm not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Can I get a converter of some sort? 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I would say no, ran a few quick searches in Google and it seems to agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Unless you have a very weird laptop there is no way to get it to display the output of anything but the laptop itself, no converters/cables/special software will help. Sorry. Any particular reason you're trying to do this BTW? Unless you've a massive laptop screen surely a TV's better anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 My parents are borrowing my TV I used for my PS3 so I'm looking for alternatives 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> I found something called HD fury which would do the trick buts its about 60 quid so I may as well go and get a new TV with that 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> you can get built in DVD LCD Tv's for 90 quid 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Be careful, I don't think that HD fury will do what you want either... What you really need is another monitor/TV, any other solution will probably end up costing more and be poorer quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSD Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yeah it's more than likely that'll I'll buy a new TV 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> since its my birthday soon I might see what happens 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 It would be your safest bet and you end up with a new telly. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I know it will be a bit crap and Scart rather than HDMI but people are giving away shed loads of old CRT TVs at the minute- would be a stop gap but I have seen TV's (60") that I paid £1500 about 6 years ago being given away for nowt- as well as much smaller ones obviously. With the sales raging people are buying flat panels and ditching the old tv's- even my parents are thinking about it! Hope this helps....Have a look at freecycle or freegle or even on Ebay they are literally going for a few quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
