What type of monitor do you have?...and What outputs does a ps3 have?...DVI, HDMI, VGA, Composite?... I can hook up 1 DVI, 1 Composite, 1 VGA, and one S-vid to my monitor and then change inputs...have you tried that? If the ps3 does have any of those outputs, and you have a halfway decent LCD then you should be able... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm correct in saying that it does not work in reverse, your PC will function as a server with your PS3 being the player, you can't stream the other way...
