Component video through a component to VGA transcoder at 720p is what I'm currently using. Works fine on the GameOS as well. I dunno about content protected Blu-Ray disks, I don't have any. The Talladega Nights Blu-Ray disk that comes with the PS3 works better in 720p than most DVDs do. No de interlacing artifacts, and no compression artifacts that I can spot. On the other hand, kboot runs at 480i, and my component solution doesn't work for my monitor at 480i. I can pass that via composite through my TV card and then to a TV program running on my other computer. It's hardly usable though. S-Video should work slightly better, but I don't have a PS3 to S-Video cable. I haven't finished experimenting yet, I may come up with a better solution. It does boil down to many ways of getting video out of the PS3, and many types of monitor with varied restrictions at either end, and sometimes restrictions in the middle. Suck it and see, if it doesn't work, try something else.
