The PS3 is very picky about what monitors it will work with. In particular, monitors that are not HDCP-compliant will NOT work with the PS3 most of the time.

And, not all DVI-equipped monitors are HDCP-compliant.

So before you devote your time and money buying that DVI-to-HDMI cable, you might want to check if your monitor is HDCP-compliant first.
