PS3 and computer monitors

I had to do some research on this, because it was kinda killin me. The PS3 supports HDMI output, which is "uncompressed data transfer of video", and has advantages over the other output formats. The PS3 also supports high-definition output.

The problem is, many of us don't have a HDTV. But, a larger number of us do have computer monitors with DVI inputs. My question was, if the PS3 could hook up to a computer monitor with a HDMI -> DVI cable, and seeing them around I wanted to make sure there weren't 2 standards.

Fortunatly, it seems that you CAN hook up your PS3 to your computer monitor. I'm fairly certain this should work, though, I can't be certain as to the acutal resolution that will be displayed. Assuming it will display the max the monitor can support, it will probably look better on your computer monitor than your standard television, even if your computer monitor is smaller (again, can't be certain, no proof, only theory).

"5) HDMI is compatible with DVI, which means it will allow connection to PCs"
"The big difference between HDMI and DVI is that HDMI transfers the video and audio signal. DVI only carries the video signal."
