PS3 connection

hughrimmer -- Mon, 11/10/2008 - 06:27

I've recently picked up an XGA projector that I want to use with my PS3, but am not sure what sort of connection is going to give me the best quality or best resolution.

The projector has got a

- 15-pin VGA
- S-video
- Composite video input

and the PS3 has got, well, the usual connectors (HDMI and the Sony MultiAV I believe they are).

Can anyone help me with what connection is going to look best?

In principle, S-Video is better than composite. I don't think there is a simple way to use VGA.

Hi, Yes there is a way..you buy yourself a vga to component converter and hook it ip using the componet cables.

Cheers!

HI I've just took the simple route and connected my PS3 to a hd Projector which can be picked up pretty cheap now , plus you have the benefit of a purely digital connection. Games and dvd's plus blueray look amazing !!!.

Look up "HDFury" on Google. It will allow you to connect the PS3's HDMI to a VGA port.

I have my PS3 hooked up to my HD projector using HDMI, and then have the audio connected to my surround sound using an optical cable.

Pure digital through hdmi is going to look and sound the best. I hook my ps3 to my tv via hdmi and optical to my Yamaha sound projector via optical since it has no hdmi and it sounds awesome.
