I imagine that this works and is so cheap because the AV/Component/Composite output of the PS3 is analog and thus another device to convert from hdmi to analog is not necessary.

Or would I be better off with a hdmi cable and then a (much more expensive) device that converts hdmi to analog like a Moome or HD fury?

Honestly I can't see how that would work. Looks a little shady to me.

You could get a PS3 component cable:

and a Kim-Coder Component to RGBHV/VGA box RTC2200:

and a VGA to RGBHV cable: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Go-02574-Premium-RGBHV/dp/B0073DP3YK/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1356052687&sr=1-11&keywords=VGA+to+5BNC+cable

at that price, i might as well get this http://www.curtpalme.com/NEC_XG-FULLHD.shtm

Oh you have an XG. You may have issues at 1080p ( 1080p digital timings have porches too small for some CRT projectors )

BUT yes that's a great deal. Plus the HDMI output of the PS3 is better than the component.

ok, and it does appear to be a good deal, but $260 is still $$$ ...

What XG? A couple models have component on them.

The other item in the first post will depend on your console, if its a model that puts out RGB-S then yes, itll likely work.

model 1351LC, and i think it is quite possible that the ps3 does RGB-S. i will look into it and report back

it looks like the ps3 does not do RGBS

Dont think the 1351 has component. Have a look in the signal entry menu.

If not, i dont see how that VGA adaptor as they call it could work on any monitor if its only component.

At 1080i, component will look just as good as HDMI on a PS3, you cant do 1080p via component at all as far as i know.

ok, i may have to bite the bullet and buy the moome, though if i could get one used on the forum for less, that would be ideal

You're more likely to find a used HDFury or external Moome box but post in the Buy and Sell and see what comes up.

There is only 50MHz bandwidth there so itll look pretty streaky at 1080p

what has only 50mhz bandwidth?

CasetheCorvetteman · Joined: 09 Nov 2008 Posts: 6326 Location: Australia

The only sources ive seen that output 1080p from digital 100 MHz component is some AVRs, two of my 3 H/Ks do, but its YCbCr, not the YPbPr that is output from the PS3.

YPbPr or analog component video has 50MHz bandwidth.

oh well based on what we've discussed above, I'll just use the hdmi output on the ps3. I have an hdfury, i believe it is a gamer model, but am still interested in getting the moome

Why not get an internal MOOME?

that is exactly what i am considering, but there is the small matter of $$$
