I wanted to get a gift for a friend, one of his old favorite games. The problem is, he doesn't have a TV, only computer monitors. (DVI+DSUB) I would like to get him a Playstation that can hookup to his monitor for video and speakers.

I was looking at this converter, and not sure if this is what I will need.

I don't understand if sound comes in on VGA or USB or if this idea is even possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Which PlayStation are you getting? PS1, PS2, or PS3? – Hello71 Jul 15 '10 at 22:20
Sorry for the ambiguity, it is for PS1 – Danny Jul 16 '10 at 6:48

No the linked device won't work - it isn't a converter. It is a media player, it will display your pictures video's etc. on USB drives on your TV.

However this RCA, S-VIDEO, VGA TO VGA Converter will.

Wow, thank you. It even had a link to a 3.5mm adapter for sound. Thank you shf301 :) – Danny Jul 16 '10 at 6:48
