Quick Amazon Search (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/105-7075795-6429222?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ps3+vga&x=14&y=19)
HDMI to DVI should do the trick.

Rats, I'd suggest taking the question to the gamefaqs PS3 hardware forum or to Sony's own forums. The latter will probably be the most helpful (and have the least amount of joke topics and trolls). It proved to be rather helpful for me when I was looking into getting my PS3 and wifi to make nice.

you're monitor has to support hdcp to display an hdmi digital signal.
check if it is "vista ready" of supports hdcp by looking at specs on the manufacturer's website. or post it here/PM me and I could research and find out if it would work.

It looks like it's a few years old, so chances are no, you cannot connect your PS3 to it.

Here is a list of a ton of monitors and it says if they support hdcp or not.
hdcp monitors are hard to find, and pretty expensive, so if your's doesn't work, I would suggest getting an lcd tv that has computer inputs.

here is my tv. it has great picture and has pc and hdmi inputs. I got it much cheaper on black friday, but it's still cheaper than other tv's, and it has a better picture. Check it out at a best buy store against other tv's and see what you like.
post of pm if you need any more help
