If I were you I would hold out until you have enough money for a full 1080p screen. You won't be able to truely appreciate the resolution of the PS3 on a 22inch monitor at 1680x1050. For a PC monitor you'll want a 24" or larger model that supports 1920x1200 resolution. You might be better off with an HDTV though since the aspect ratio might be more suitable for the PS3; the HDTV has a wider aspect ratio - 16:9 rather than 16:10. If your heart is set on a PC monitor though I would hold out for something like this:

If you just can't wait though it looks like you found some fair prices for 22" models.
