I would do some more research to see how exactly it deals with its 16:10 aspect ratio when displaying 16:9 ratios (which all possible streams from the ps3 are). Some monitors have no issue with that. Others do.RomanticFool
RomanticFool brings up a very important point. 16:9 and 16:10 is what I look for first. And a lot of retailers and websites will falsely advertise this on purpose. Most if not all will even fail to mention the aspect ratio. I've been waiting and searching near and far for an LCD Monitor that will do that and I think I've finally found it.

Not only does this LCD HDTV monitor by Samsung have a resolution of 1920x1200, in HDMI mode, it is switched to 16:9 ratio. So not only will you be able to play your PC games and surf the web in glorified 1920x1200 but you will also be able to watch Blurays, dvds, and play console games (like Xbox 360, PS3) at 16:9 like it's suppose to be!
I know from personal experience that the LCD monitor I have now does have HDMI but it displays my Xbox 360 and PS3 at a distorted and stretched 16:10. 16:10 is purely for LCD monitors, while 16:9 is mainly for HDTVs. So I found this awesome LCD HDTV monitor and it has (16:9, 16:10, 4:3) modes. This is your one-stop-shop. The price is totally worth it, at $469.99 on www.newegg.com. I've looked everywhere and the price can't be beat. Free shipping too!
I love Samsung HDTVs. I have a 46" Touch of Color Series 7 Samsung in my living room (also in my sig) and they're absolutely great. If you have $500 saved up, please spend it on this LCD HDTV monitor. It will provide you with all your gaming needs for your average multi-platform gamer.
I just ordered one myself. I'm getting rid of this BenQ. ;)
