How to Hook Up the PS3 to an LG

LG produces a variety of HDTVs, all of which support at least one video connection compatible with the PlayStation 3 (PS3). Out of the box, the PS3 includes a composite AV cable for standard-definition connections. Although your LG HDTV may support a composite connection, the PS3 is a high-definition device that benefits from an HD video connection such as HDMI. Any HDMI cable will work with the PS3.
