Can I use my PS3 if my monitor or TV doesn't have an HDMI port?
If your television/monitor does not support HDMI inputs and you would like to connect a PlayStation 3 then there are various other options. This article shows you how to link up your PS3 to your television with Component AV, S-Video or Composite connections.PS3 and Component AV - I've used this earlierIf you can’t use an HDMI cable then your next best option is a Component AV Cable. This type of cable is also capable of supporting high definition video and it has five inputs to plug into your television. You will have to purchase the AV cable separately because it is not provided with your console. Simply plug the single end into your PlayStation 3 in the AV Multi Out port and then plug the other jacks into your television where it says Component Video In and Audio In. The individual ports should be labelled Y, PB/CB and PR/CR for video and simply L and R for audio. This cable will give you a high definition signal but it won’t be quite as good as the HDMI. PS3 and S-video - Never tried this beforeYou can look around for a PS3 - S-video connector should look something like thisSo to sum it up, I will prioritize AV over S-video as the quality is similar to HDMICheers!
Can i connect my ps3 on 8 years fat old tv?
You can connect your PS3 to a TV from 1970 if you wanted to. If you have a UHF/VHF transformer and a converter box that allows you to connect DVD players and game consoles to TVs with coaxial cables, it would work. Since your TV is only 8 years old, it will have RCA AV connectors (yellow, white and red). It might also have component AV connectors (red, green and blue connectors as opposed to one yellow connector). Simply use a set of AV cables and hook them up. If you've used your PS3 on a high definition display with an HDMI cable, you will need to reset the video settings by holding the power button down until you hear a second beep after it's been turned on (press and hold to turn on the PS3 and don't let go until you hear that second beep).

Should I buy a PC monitor or a television for my PlayStation 4?
There's some monitors over $1000, depends on your budget. Of course there's TV's that high too, but a monitor in the range will probably be a lot better for gaming. If you solely care for gaming then do a lot of research into monitors and find a decent one, you don't have to pay that much it's just a PS4 pro. Look into what complements the ps4 pro. What resolution are you looking for? PS4 pro can do 4k I think so if interested find a cheap 4k monitor/TV. I personally have my PS4 hooked up to a 1080p Roku TV (nothing special) but my PC rig is setup with a 4k LG monitor so it's just preference but honestly you'll enjoy the ps4, I've never played on a pro but obviously it's better than the regular PS4 lol. Good luck!I use [1] benq 27 inch 60 hz monitor which is basically made for consoles. I also sit really close, I play on my desk, so I seriously wouldn't go for over 28 or 30 inches... I don't know if I would want to play on a TV from here on out. If I want to upgrade I would get a monitor again. I mean a friend of mine has an awesome 60inch 4k TV with a led panel, and wouldn't play on it for the life of me. It's a matter of personal choice, and the only thing I would pay attention when choosing a monitor is the panel. Get a led panel and anything over 60hz is overkill. I have nothing to say about hdr, other than wait for Dolby Vision. Getting hdr 10 now, is like getting 720p instead of 1080p. I have written before that Dolby Vision will come to the TVs and got repllies that the technology is difficult to implement. The last news we got is that some TVs and consoles can get updated software for Dolby vision... So, don't jump to the hdr bandwagon yet, it's too early. Let the techonolgy mature and then go for it[2]Footnotes[1] Blogger[2] Blogger

Is it better to play old game systems such as the NES and the PS2 on an old CRT TV? What are the issues with using composite cables on these systems on an HDTV, and what are the ways to fix it?
I wouldn't say better, but you have likely now gotten use to HDTV and high-res games, so it is very likely to look worse, when it is the same. I currently have an Atari XL , an Atari 2600, a NES, SNES, N64, PS2, PS3, a game cube, and the PC's video output for the old PC serving as the “server" through an APE cable to the Atari XL, all connected to a 72” HD DLP Samsung.The systems are attached through through various connections, the old t.v./computer switch, RCA, Svideo, composite, VGA, and HDMI. Most go through a switch box with ports for RCA and S-video then that output goes into a tuner. FYI I also have extension cables so l can play far enough back from the screen so I'm not commenting on just being a foot from the screen.I don't think any of them would look better on a CRT. However, I do notice how pixelated Goldeneye gets on a 72″ screen, I never saw it expanded that big in the past, but if I had a 72″ CRT, I'd expect to to look the same, maybe even fuzzier. It is awesome to play old games, but I'm quickly reminded how hard they were. Just a quick run and a Mario slide under the rock in level 1–2, is tricky for me now.It took a while to get it all set up, but it is surreal to play 4 player Combat, on a 2600, on a 72″ screen. It always makes me smile.
Will a(n) RCA/composite to VGA/DVI converter upscaler product input lag?
Yes there will be more input lag if you use a converter. Note that some of the games may not work with the converter. Also some do not do audio. VGA and DVI do not do audio, how were you planning on getting audio anyways? Also note that old video games will look bad on a HD-TV. Your money would be better off getting a SD-TV that has the ports you need you can find some around $20 on craigslist.
How do I hook up an Xbox One to a super old TV?
To sum it all up I have a TV (Amazon.com: Toshiba 61H70 61-Inch HDTV-Ready Projection TV: Electronics) and I have an HDMI to 3-prong (I don’t know shit about TVs, so try your best to explain it simply) (Link to cord: MOTONG 5 FT 1.5m HDMI Male to 3RCA Male Extension Cable Converter Adapter for HDTV DVD - Walmart.com) The cord definitely works, I tested it on another TV. I have my Xbox One. I don’t have a remote for the TV so I can only do so much but the 2 video channels in the Tv/Video button list are just Video 2 and Video 3. When i connect the 3 prongs to the Video 2 I hear sound when on the channel so I know the cord is registering on the TV. The buzzing goes away when I plug the HDMI end to the Xbox it goes away so its registering being plugged in. However there is no video or audio coming from the TV or anything to suggest its connected to the Xbox other than the lack of buzzing from not being connected. Hopefully that isnt too confusing but as stated earlier I dont know shit about TVs and Im just trying to get a bigscreen TV to game on.
RCA to Component video?
A component to VGA cable is supposed to be used with component video, not composite. Connect a Playstation component AV cable to the PS2, and then connect that cable to the component/VGA adapter. If your monitor does not support "sync on green", then it will still not work, but a component AV cable is pretty cheap so its worth a shot: http://www.google.com/search?q=playstati... .
