    Is it possible? Would be nice to use this as a monitor for a PS3. I did a search, and can't find anything. Is this possible via the tv tuner or some hack/mod? Is there some sort of external or internal hardware or device that can do it?

    i very much doubt that.

    Though might be possible via converting phono/RCA output of the PS3 to coax, and then feeding that to a coax usb TV tuner. I'm no expert but i doubt if the result will be nice.

    Might be better buying a cheap 15" TV and strapping it to PS3 :)

    Thought as much too. :(

    I didn't get the tv tuner option so I have no idea what kind of connections are on it.

    It would have been nice to use the 3D function with the PS3. It would also have saved me some weight during long stays away from home during work trips. I guess no PS3 for a few months...can't justify lugging around another monitor. lol.
