Prathap Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hii Avishkar... If your laptop has HDMI port, then you can use this cable to connect.. http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Splitter-Premium-Cable/dp/B000FMJLQC ie.. if you want both your TV and laptop to be connected to PS3 at the same time.. Thank You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montylee Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 most laptops have hdmi out not hdmi in so it would be difficult unless u can get a tv tuner card -------------------------------------------- Sent from keyboard using hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagalime Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 can you be more specific... you want to connect your ps3 to your laptop -to see ps3 output on laptop screen -to share files from ps3 to laptop - to share files from laptop to ps3 - to share internet - for all of the above - for something else ???

Man In The Box Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 To see PS3 output on a laptop screen. Basically, playing games on my laptop screen as it will be a substitute for the TV. I have a HDMI port but it is definitely not HDMI in as it's a laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 You will need a card which has a HDMI in interface. I will give you the link in a moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hey you said you use your laptop screen as monitor for PS3. Can you let me know what all stuff is required for that? My laptop has HDMI out but no IN, so what do we need to buy? And resolution of my laptop is 1366x768, so I think it should be enough, right? Hi dude.. Yeah I use my Laptop screen.. To need this baby http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280575699637&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT It is basically a video capture device.. Which lets us capture video using the RCA Cable.. It is easy to configure and it connects via USB. You just need to connect and install the driver. You need a video editor which is also provided with the device for free.. You can preview the video being sent from PS3 on your laptop.. make it full screen and you are good to go.. You can play both ntsc and pal discs on this.. But the problem is you can't expect HDMI kind of output.. Enjoy! All credit to Mr zug zug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagalime Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 hd capture this seems to be the answer for HD. but it is insanely expensive. If you are happy with SD you will have many cheaper options available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man In The Box Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 hd capture this seems to be the answer for HD. but it is insanely expensive. If you are happy with SD you will have many cheaper options available Thanks for that link. Yeah, found some very good SD options but that HD option looks good. I think it would be better if I go for that as it is cheaper than buying a TV and anyway my room is not very big here. Do you know how do I connect that to my laptop because it doesn't seem to have a USB slot ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumarab Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't get it..why are you looking for expensive HD capture options when you can buy DVI monitors for less? Is the space constraint really such a big problem? The BenQ V920 is a good option--LED wtih DVI input. It won't be much larger than your laptop screen I suppose(it's 18.5'). Street price in Delhi is in the 7.5k`range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man In The Box Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 ^^^ Hmm, will keep an eye out for monitors too. Will I get proper 1080p displays on them ? I have never done gaming on a monitor before. And yeah, size till 20" is fine for my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
