Will PS3/PS4 Work on this Samsung Monitor?

justinx01 · Oct 25, 2013

Hi guys/gals, question here.

I have a Samsung SyncMaster S22B150 monitor. Unfortunately, it is VGA only but was wondering if my PS3 (PS4 coming in soon) could work on this monitor with a VGA to HDMI cable/adapter thing? (Or anything similar.)(PS4 as I recall only has HDMI, if I'm wrong, please do correct.)

Thanks for any help.

Hi It should. I don't know what you would do about the Audio, unless the Monitor has Audio, then you would need a converter. You can find all that stuff here: http://www.amazon.com/s?ie=UTF8&page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ahdmi%20to%20vga

I can use a headset easily. Plus with the DS4 controller, there is the option to plug earbuds into the controller so that's good. I have the Sony Stereo Wireless Headset for PS3.

I'll give the link a go though!

EDIT

The monitor doesn't have speakers, forgot to add that. (I have to use separate speakers for it with my desktop.)

I have a PS3 and forgot all about that and didn't know about the controller thing for the PS4, as I am not thinking of getting one anyway. The HDMI to VGA adapter should be fine.

Ah right. Actually, wouldn't it need to be a female VGA to HDMI?

Probably something like this: http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-349361-6-Feet-Adapter-Cable/dp/B004S5H30I/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1382741990&sr=8-11&keywords=hdmi+to+vga

Male-to-male? My VGA cable has the pins like the VGA part of that cable has.

EDIT

I was thinking this:

Oh wait..yeah I gotcha now. I was thinking of the VGA cable and not the connector on the monitor.That male-to-male one looks okay but the reviews look..well..bleh for it. 2/5. There are more though.

Sometimes you have to take those reviews with a grain of salt. Someone who has a bad experience will be quick to write up a bad review, and those who have a good experience, may or may not write a review. Also, when I read the bad ones, I sometimes realize that it was the reviewers fault and not the product.

True about reviews. I've played some video games that had bad reviews but found the game(s) fun and very enjoyable. I'll definitely try this out. Thanks for the links.
