Is my Monitor HDCP compliant?

[smoats]

I Recently bought a 23.6 inch LG 24EN31 and was wondering if I could plug my PS3 into it to game and watch movies through an HDMI to DVI cable.

I got it from Best Buy but they don't have it on their site anymore. They have a similar model and the only difference between the two is that the newer one has an HDMI port on it.

Here's a link to the newer one.

HDCP requires an HDMI cable to work, so no, your monitor is not HDCP compatible.


Update - I lied. HDCP is supported over DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, GVIF, or UDI interfaces. That said, do you know what year your monitor was released?

Not sure about the year. I know it can support 1920x1080 though, so I don't think it's too old.

1080p has been out longer than HDCP, your best bet may be to just plug it in and give it a try.

I'm pretty certain it's newer than my old monitor which was an HP 2009m which is HDCP compliant. I guess I'll just try to find an affordable cable and hope for the best.

What are you doing about AUDIO?

Nothing really. I don't have any speakers that I can plug into a PS3, but since I'm half deaf it's not a huge deal.

Though for the few things that don't have subtitles, any suggestions for audio would be appreciated..

We can't help if you don't have the hardware. You require:
1) An HDTV, or
2) A monitor with speakers (and HDMI input)
3) A monitor with HDMI input and audio output (to attach to desktop speakers)
4) A receiver that can connect to the PS3's digital audio output

The only thing I have is a pair of desktop speakers with a 3.5mm jack. I honestly don't know a lot about speakers, but is there some kind of adapter that would help?

There are THREE outputs that have audio:
1) HDMI
2) Optical
3) AV Video

If you had a monitor with RCA audio outputs you could just use that, and get an RCA->3.5mm adapter like the one in the video I'll link.

OPTICAL requires a suitable receiver or special headphones.

AV Video is likely your best bet, and here's a video:

There may be BETTER solutions as well. Someone also commented the VOLUME might be too low depending on the OHM rating of your headphones.

Update:

THESE headphones for PS3 are only $40, amplified, and don't have all the hassle of buying adapters. By the time you buy a couple adapters you might spend the cost of these headphones!

There are better ones, but for $40 this might be your best option if on a budget. They connect via USB and are also compatible with PC/MAC.

I have an HP 2009m and am having trouble hooking up my Wii/X-Box 360 to it. What cable did you use to display onto your screen?

I never had it hooked up to the 2009m and never got it working through my new monitor anyways. Sorry mate.
