Answer 1

The problem is that there is no one solution, it depends on several factors. For example, if your LCD monitor has an HDMI port and speakers built into it, then you should only need an HDMI cable to get both video and audio.



Warning: check your LCD monitor supports HDCP before getting anything, the PS3 system requires that its display supports this.



But, lets say your LCD monitor has VGA and DVI, but no HDMI, and no speakers, so you want to output the sound to a nearby stereo, then you will need either an HDMI to DVI cable, or an HDMI cable and an HDMI to DVI adapter, then for the sound you will need a PS1/PS2/PS3 AV multi cable (for most countries, this is the cable they supply), which you can then connect to the stereo via RCA (This is the most common method, but there are other ways too).



To be sure what solution you require, you will need to supply the models of your LCD monitor and if applicable, any sound hardware (like a stereo) you plan to use.

the guy before me is such a ranter.... the reason why sony doen't provide HDMI and component cables is because no everyone ha an HDTV..... anyway what came with the ps3 is the AV cable red white yellow.... since you have an lcd im pretty sure you will have that connection in the back of your TV if not buy either a..... HDMI cable.... best choice for audio and visual quality.... buy the ones worth at least $90 cuz these ones have better warranties and they have better durability cuz the cheap ones deteriorate in quality after extended periods of time...... and the shorter the better cuz signal from ps3 to tv gets to tv faster and clearer.... component cables.... next best thing... you wont be able to tell the difference really visually speaking.... audio you can tell the difference.... these ones look like AV cables except they are red blue and green... it'll cost around $35 and i recommend the brand monster.... hope this helped you out!:D don't forget to pick a best answer!

1. Get yourself a HDMI cable.



2. Connect it to your PS3 and into the back of your television in the HDMI input.



3. Hold the PS3 power button for a mear 4-6 Seconds until you hear a second beep.



4. Once the PS3 is on again, it should ask you about your display settings.



5. Just follow through and you will get the rest.



HOPE THIS WORKED!
