Monitor for my PS3


Recommended Posts

I want to purchase a Playstation 3 but don't have an HD tv or anything so I've been looking into monitors for the past 3 months. It seems that every good monitor I find is always shot down on some forum for not having good performance on PS3 (be it TN or whatever).

I'm looking for a monitor that has DVI, HDCP, HDMI, resolution: 1920x1200, high static contrast ratio: 1000:1 (dynamic 3000:1 or higher), Brightness at least 400 cd/m2 and at least a 24" Screen. My budget has been $600.

The best monitor I've found so far in my opinion is

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824001263 (Which has been shotdown on several PS3 forums)

OR

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824009125 (Newegg doesn't sell it anymore, I dont know if its been recalled or what, so im hesitant)

Can someone maybe make a suggestion regarding a monitor based on my specs, or let me know what they think of the two monitors I researched? I don't know much about LCD technology, but I'm just looking for a very good monitor with excellent 1080p colors and picture within my budget range (which I believe is high enough for a good one).

Thanks.

I recommend the Gateway FHD2400. My brother just got one and it's awesome. I has the Sickest OSD I've ever seen.

I did some reasearch on that monitor... It looks sick, I'm probably going to buy that instead tonight. Just one question:

Does it have an audio out on it somewhere? I'd hate to plug in my PS3 via HDMI only to find out I can't use audio.

I guess the only turnoff of that guy is that its contrast ratio is 10x lower than that of the samsung I mention. It certainly wont provide the vibrant colors the samsung has to offer. It has compoent and composite so I can at least hook my Wii and NES to it.

I have my PS3 hooked upto my Dell 24" and it is flawless! :) only problem is that it doesnt have hdmi, but i have an hdmi to dvi cable im using and it looks great! :) too bad there is little to nothing to play it on it though! lol . i paid $560 CND for my lcd a few months ago and have not regretted it one bit and thanks to the multiple inputs, i have my PS3, 360 and Macbook Pro hooked upto it and each one is just a button click away :)
