PS3 on laptop screen Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,
I bought a PS3 a few days ago, and I want to use my laptop screen (VAIO AR41L) to play on because I have FULL HD 1080. So I bought an HDMI cable to connect the two, and nothing happens. I've searched for answers everywhere but found nothing that resolves my issue. There is an HDMI output, and I also have an S-video output.
So if anyone can help me.

Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

If you connect your PS3 to the HDMI output of your graphics card, you won't get any image. The graphics card can transmit, send what it displays to another screen, but not the other way around. For example, displaying what you see on your laptop screen on a TV. It's a video output, not an input.
To summarize, you can send the video signal from your graphics card to another source, but not receive it. Your PC does not receive the video signal from your PS3. So you don't have an image and you won't be getting one.

I don’t actually know of any graphics card that offers an input to receive a video signal.

I think your problem comes from what I explained.

PS: I think that on a laptop, the video signal necessarily goes through the graphics card. On a desktop, you might be able to connect the screen directly to the console and achieve a positive result. To test.

lol you're dreaming  I imagine you have Vista...  buy a tuner screen, you'll have less lag!

Thank you for replying to me, but the fact that it lags or not is another issue.

nicoco · Answer

Ok, so that's normal, thank you. However, can I buy an interface that will allow me to use my screen?

Nazman · Answer

I did some research on this myself as well. I found some interesting leads only to realize that it would be useless, since whatever you do, your graphics card will not receive the video signals. It can only transmit them.
So no.

Salut à tous, j'ai déjà essayé de brancher un câble VGA depuis ma console au PC portable, ça n'a donné aucun résultat, dommage.

Hi,  Your laptop has a VGA OUTPUT (the signal goes TO a screen!) and NOT a VGA input (nothing can be displayed on your laptop screen other than your OS!!!  Enjoy!

I bought this cable and I connected it with a component output and a VGA component adapter all to my Philips 190SW monitor which works in full HD. I have the image but the screen is green, why? I have the image and everything but the screen is green.

Hey,
So finally a positive response. I bought a USB key that gives me access to 3 cables (the red, yellow, white things) ^^. The PlayStation 3 works perfectly, but with a resolution that is not HD.
Lame explanation, I'm not a tech whiz xD.
There you go, hope this helps you.

Salut à tous !! Si vous branchez un câble HDMI sur votre ordinateur portable, cela n'aura aucun effet et peut même risquer d'abîmer la qualité de votre écran de PC !! Donc ne tentez pas et n'achetez pas de prises sans vous renseigner !!!!

A glimmer of hope but...
I have a 24-inch Acer P244w PC monitor, I just bought a PS3, an HDMI cable, and voilà it works, but sometimes only!!!!!! The image doesn't appear right away, and not in a... "logical" way, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... and when it works, it works very well! But now... well it doesn't work at all! (the monitor works fine since it works when I connect it to my PC)

Is there a setting to adjust on the monitor or the PS3??

Thanks in advance, I don't have a TV so I'm a bit bummed out!

Here's an adapter sold with a female/female VGA cable, how to use it then...

Another more expensive solution, buy a standard PC monitor. I bought the cable for my laptop but it doesn't work... what can I do besides returning it?

loulou · Answer

Justement ! L'ordinateur peut seulement faire sortir une image vers un écran extérieur, la question serait : est-ce qu'il y a un programme conçu pour recevoir les images et le son à partir de la prise HDMI ?

I found a solution if you buy a dazzle, you can connect the PS3 to a laptop but the only problem is that the quality is not great

Thebite · Answer

I need a laptop with an HDMI PORT  Like the Alienware M18x for example

Erwann44800 · Answer

And then imagine if the PS3 could send a video stream to your phone in addition to the graphics card (which is prioritized) sending its video signal as well; there would be a conflict, and I don't think the GPU would support that for long. It seems that there are a few rare laptops that have HDMI inputs, but they're no longer available on the market.
