That picture is not useful. That many connectors will only ruin the video signal and quality. And honestly you are quite out of luck since PS3 isn't meant to be played with VGA, only HDMI. It is HDMI because of both video and audio output and playing games at VGA means you will have issues trying to display HD content when the games lowest res is 720p which is considered to be HD. Also you will need the traditional PS2 video/audio adapter (red, yellow, white) connectors , otherwise you have no sound. If you have no money, then your only choice is to get one of these http://tinyurl.com/lmksjtf.

But as an optimal solution, VGA is not recommended.

The model is a Dell E176FP 17" Flat Panel Monitor and yes you're probably right, but your missing one thing. The Ps3 also has composite on it too. So can I do a composite to vga?

Composite as in the Ycbr connectors? Unless your monitor has composite connectors (which i doubt they do, since PC monitors generally do not come with them) then maybe you can. However, I have not seen any type of converters using Ycbr into HDMI or DVI. Maybe Google can help on that end.

Try this website http://tinyurl.com/mmbwzzj

They have HDMI to VGA cables. But be warned whenever you try to convert HD content to VGA there will be a definite loss of quality and it may even be worse. There are conposite to VGA. Not sure where to buy them, but google can help. Best place perhaps Walmart. They tend to have these things.

Thank you so much for the help, you helped since a long time. Oh and when I was searching on youtube I found this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i16BphGMIKg). This guy/girl has exact same monitor as me :D
