What do I need to do to us my computer monitor to play my ps3?

Q. I have a HP 2010 Series Wide LCD Monitor. Can anyone tell me what kind of adapters I would need, if any?

A. If it has an HDMI input, you'll just need an HDMI cord. If it doesn't, you'll need an HDMI-to-DVI adapter. I used to have my PS3 set up that way, you'll need to use your AV cords for sound (I had mine plugged into the back of a stereo).

If you have to buy an HDMI cord or the adapter, shop online. You can get both on Amazon for under $15, but Radioshack was going to charge me over $120.


Would buying an ultra HD monitor be the wise choice with my system?
Q. HP Pavilion p6674y Desktop PC
HP 2010 Series Wide LCD Monitor
Windows 7 Home Premium
ATI Radeon HD 4200 video card

My computer can play HD videos (720p and 1080p) but the colors are always REALLY dark or the playback is choppy. My drivers are up to date, but I can't help but think the problem is the monitor (which I assume is pretty middle-of-the-road quality). I want to be able to watch clear 720p and 1080p videos.

I'm looking at the Asus VS247H-P 24-Inch Full-HD LED-Lit Monitor, but don't want to spend the money if it's my whole CPU that's the issue.

Thanks!

A. I really wish people would stop using the term "CPU" to refer to their entire machine. But that's besides the point...

I doubt that the monitor is your problem (your monitor doesn't really have much of a say over how choppy your video is). If I had to venture a guess I'd say the problem if your graphics card: the Radeon 4200 is kind of lower end.

My recommendation would be to buy a new graphics card. If all your doing is watching videos then you don't need to spend money on a gaming card or anything - just a basic $30-$50 card should cut it for you.
