That's all you need. Just make sure the monitor is HDCP compliant and you'll be good to go.

It's a switch that allows you to put 2 or more outputs into it and plugs into one set of speakers and you can switch between which output to play.
I believe someone is selling one on here still, they're dirt cheap.

RCA Adapter....I use the built in speakers on my monitor for my 360 though.

final conclusion if unsure dont waste money on cables. i spent 25 quid on cables and my monitor just goes blank. dont think its hdcp. if you looking into this make sure you have a hd compliant monitor. saves alot of money and time!

Did you try resetting the PS3's video? Turn it off, hold the on button until it beeps- probably a good 7 or 8 seconds.

I've had my PS3 hooked up to two different monitors and I've had to do that both times. Using hdmi to dvi and rca to 3.5 to hook up sound.
