http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/detail.do?group=computersperipherals&type=monitors&subtype=lcd&model_cd=LS24HUBCFV/XAA

anyone know if it's good/bad and got any thoughts on it>

Thanks!

As a PC monitor yes primarily for gaming (and general internet browsing/word processing) and possibility hookin my PS3 up to it.

Go for the Dell E248WFP,I just got mine this morning and it's a stunner,Compared to that samsung 24" model,this dell monitor has 92% Colour Gamut vs. 72%,1.1 pixel mapping (v.important if u plan to play ps3 or 360 on a pc monitor),and 4 years warranty,also i think the stand/bezel looks better than the samsung :Pblacktorn

yeah thats the one im order how is it overall and wut kind speakers did u put for it

I just use a 2.1 audio system,for both my pc and 360 because it has multiple inputs in the sub-woofer.

Everything about the monitor just works the way it should,I went from a 7 year old 17" crt to this,and it's just jaw-dropping,I can't comment on how the 360 works on it yet as I have a hdmi-dvi adapter coming tomoz so I'll tell you about it then (check out my blog ill put my views in there,or ill just post my blog here tomoz as well)

The only bad thing i have to say is that youtube videos in 19200x1200 look awful lol

I'll try to take some pics in a mo if i can get my cam to work.

BTW i got it for 320 (incl vat & next day shipping ) at pcbuyit.com,you won't get it anywhere cheaper.

Well that's not surprising since this model only came out a few days ago,as for speakers,I'd recommend THIS

It's receive V.high scores in reviews,it comes with a phono adapter so if you plan to plug a 360 vga cable to this monitor you can just plug the split audio cable that comes with it into that,or if u plan to use a hdmi-dvi adapter like me then your going to need a stereo to 2xphono cable,but remember you need the 360 audio adapter so that u can use hdmi/dvi and a separate audio device,it comes with the elites (which is what i have).

I'm not so sure about the ps3 but i think you can buy a similar audio splitter.

i think i might go with this one http://shop4.outpost.com/product/4452736?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

Ok so i got my hdmi-dvi adapter today,and the 360 looks gr8 on it,however make sure to put it on gaming mode or any of the video colour modes as all the other modes don't seem to work so well.Also turn the Gamma right down as initially the Gamma is too high and therefore you loose alot of detail in shadows ect,use Quickgamma and it sorts it out with no probs.

I would post pics but the quality of my cam pics are dire so i won't bother,but i still 100% recommend it.

I say just buy some sort of TV, a good lcd that you can hook up to your cable box.

I bought a 37inch jvc lcd. with 1080p

1920x1080 at 37 inches is a true sight to behold.

High Rez + Big screen = :D
