How do you get rid of the pixelated image when playing PS3 on a 1900x1200 monitor?

gaming monitor 1900x1200 image

Jim M

I just bought a Samsung 24 inch monitor and hooked it up to my PS3. At first things looked fine, the xmb was sharp. but once i got into the game things started going wrong. The image is terribly pixelated and grainy. I've tried a lot of solutions so far and can't find a fix.

Answer
The highest resolution the PS3 is capable of displaying is 1080p. That's 1920x1080 resolution. You should first make sure it's set up to output video at 1080p.

If the problem persists, I suspect the problem is that your monitor is 1920x1200, which means when your monitor receives the 1080p video signal from your PS3 it will attempt to stretch the image to 1920x1200 to fill the whole screen. That might be why the images becomes pixelated and grainy.

You need to look through your PS3 and monitor manual and see if there is a way to disable "image scaling" and make it display at 1:1 pixel mapping.

How can I hook up older game systems to an LCD computer monitor?

Long story short, I'm going to be upgrading my computer setup soon. The monitor I'll likely be going with is 24" 1900x1200 and will have one DVI port and one HDMI port. How can I connect older game systems (systems with composite and component cables) and have them be displayed at a decent resolution?

Thanks to anyone who can help out.

Answer
You want a scaler. But they don't come cheap. Here's one from Amazon to give you an idea, http://www.amazon.com/Component-composite-s-vid-Scaler-converter/dp/B00083Y712 . That would allow you best customize how the image is being output to the monitor. You can also get ones for HDMI like this, http://www.hdtvsupply.com/svideo-to-hdmi.html
