How to Connect Laptop to PS3

Best Answer

You can connect your laptop to the PS3 using an HDMI cable if your laptop has an HDMI input (but most don't). A more common method is to use multimedia servers like Plex or Windows Media Player to stream content from your laptop to your PS3. Just set up the server on your laptop, connect both devices to the same network, and use the PS3's media server feature to access the content.

Use an HDMI capture card if you want to use your laptop as a display for your PS3. Connect the PS3 to the capture card, and then plug the capture card into your laptop via USB. Software like OBS will let you view the gameplay.

I've done it by setting up a media server with Universal Media Server. Easy to install and works like a charm! Keep both devices on the same Wi-Fi.

Honestly, you can't just connect a laptop as a display for the PS3 directly. They aren't designed for that.
