Most HDMI plugs on computers both PCs and Laptops are out plugs meant to connect the computer to a HDTV just like the plug on the back of PS3 is meant to do. This would mean that you couldn't but if like me you have input it would be possible if you know how to get it working. Isn't the easiest thing to do.
No the laptop HDMI would allow the laptop to display on your HDTV just like the PS3 HDMI does or a PC HDMI does
The HDMI connection on the laptop is for the same purpose as the connection on the PS3. They are both used to connect and allow the device content to be shown on an HDTV
The AV cable that comes with the PS3 is not for HDTV set up. You need to purchased a HDMI cable or a Sony PS3 component cable and then it should work.
If you laptop has an HDMI output then you can hook it up directly to a HDTV with an HDMI input without the PS3.
You don't need to. The PS3 comes with the A/V cable that has HDMI input for the side that goes into the PS3 and three RCA color coded plugs on the other side. If you want to use a HDMI cable all that is needed to to purchase one and plug it in to your HDTV HDMI input and into the PS3 If you want another cable that came with the PS3 ask around everyone using the PS3 with a HDMI cable has an unused PS3 A/V cable stuff somewhere

The HDMI cable should be plugged in to an HDTV. If you have a Laptop or PC with a HDMI plug slot on it is also so it can be plugged in to a HDTV and is an out HDMI PLUG SLOT like the one that is on the PS3. Some HDMI cables that are sold are of low quality and do not work, stick with brand name cables that are not purchased from highly counterfeit sources in overseas locations.
No. Just use a component cable or similar
To connect the PS3 to a HDTV you need an HDMI cable if your HDTV has an HDMI connection, if it doesn't you need a PS3 component cable.
If your PC has an HDMI port and the connector is the same as that used on a PS3, then it should work correctly.
HDMI cables can be bought at almost any electronics store. Any HDMI cable will work with your PS3, but Sony does sell an official HDMI cable. However, this official cable costs 60 US Dollars, which may be well out of the price range for many PS3 owners.
No you can use the A/V cable that came with the PS3. HDMI or a PS3 Component Cable is required for HD
Yes. The HDMI cord or HDMI plug at the PS3 end in the A/v cable allows the PS3 to have Audio and Video. How can you say a PS3 is working without Audio and Video
You need an HDTV for it to work and the TV has to have an HDMI connection. Then you need to turn your HDTV to the location for the HDMI that was connected
I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDTV and into the PS3. Then I went to the settings for both the HDTV and the PS3 slim and set them for HDMI and sync. When it works right putting a disc into the PS3 will turn on the HDTV and also switch the HDTV over to that HDMI input rather than a cable box or similar item even if it was on the cable box when you last used the HDTV.
Connecting the PS3 to a HDTV with HDMI inputs is best rather than only good when using an HDMI cable. It allows a single cable to easily connect with an excellent connection and only a single plug and also allows a sync between the two devices. When I put a disc in the PS3 the TV turns on and switches to the PS3 from my Cable box. If the TV is already on it switches the HDTV from cable over to the PS3 and back when I turn off the PS3. The PS3 HDMI cable sold by Sony is a good quality cable and support all the features of the PS3, namely HDMI 1.4A with 3D video. It is also cheaper than some other HDMI cables that are sold in the TV area of most consumer electronics stores. When I purchased by HDMI cable at Walmart that store was out of the PS3 HDMI cable and I purchased the Sony Flat HDMI cable for a little more. Most named brand cables work fine and you should never pay full retail for a HDMI cable. You do not have to purchase a PS3 cable and many of the other Sony cables work fine. Currently Walmart has the Sony HDMI Cable w/ USB Cable Pack (PS3) for $34.97 and it is the same price as just the Sony 6.5' HDMI Cable (PS3) and without the extra charging cable
