First off forgive me if people have asked similar questions (as I'm sure they have several times, especially when the PS3 first came out) I've glanced over the forums and seen people asking about specific monitors/tvs but, I haven't really found what I'm looking for.
I plan on purchasing the almighty PS3 soon and with it I'd like to get some sort of HD tv or monitor. It doesn't have to be the greatest, I just want the best that I can get for $400 or less. Even if it's only 720p, I don't mind. I just would like to hear some opinions from you guys before I make a purchase, as you probably know more than me as to what's good and what to look for. (contrast ratio, resolution, all that stuff)
Preferably 20" at least also. Just toss some tips out there for me please. Any suggestions would be greatly appeciated. Thanks...
take a look at this, its a monitor rather than a tv but it supports hdtv apparently at 1080p, it also has built in speakers and it has hdmi port aswell.5ms is also a fast response time to prevent blur and it has good contrast too.it also has inputs for headset etc which is good for gaming and is a decent size at 22" . plus its within ya price range.
Yeah that one looks very appealing. I've seen it several times tonight. The only thing that is really bugging me about it is the customer reviews. A lot of people say they died in a short amount of time or that the connections went out. I was also glancing at this one: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2411133&Sku=S197-2012&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&CMP=OTC-GOOGLEBASE
I have a samsung 19" and it has DVI input which is HDCP compliant, so an HDMI to DVI would work, it has component and VGA as well, I don't remember what model, but go to samsung.com and look fior it, it's white, and is 19" 720p/1080i, beautiful picture clarity
Well Jechts and The_Jerm, thanks for your input. I'm really leaning toward that Sceptre from Newegg.com but if I get it I'll definitely be purchasing at least a 1 year warranty along with it.

that monitor is made by the same people so its likely that any connection issues will exist in this model too, besides this one isnt 1080p capable and it has poorer refresh rate and contrast ratio.plus it looks deeper and far less attractive and of cousre its smaller.id pick the other 1 from the 2.

good choice, just made sure too, I bought a DVI monitor not supp-orting HDCP, and it didnt work, but your fine, this supports HDCP, so you dont have to worry about anything, and no problem, im here to help and learn
