D Sub to HDMI - Samsung tv input dilema!

[admin_exported]

Hi

I already have a PS3 and I got Sky HD last weekend. However, my tv only has one hdmi input would you believe!! A friend suggested that if it has a DVI input I could use a HDMI to DVI cable and still get a 1080 picture... But, it doesnt. It has a D SUB (I think its called) input which is like a standard (if old) computer monitor cable. I found a picture of one below:

Does anyone know if I can use this to get a HD picture?

Thanks in advance!

Rather than messing around trying to use the VGA input just buy ONE OF THESE you will then have 3 HDMI inputs to 1 solveing your problem

Agreed, you can get VGA cables for the PS3 (though reports on them have been patchy) or an HDMI to VGA converter (quite pricey). The HDMI switch box is a better way to go in my opinion.
