PC Monitors with an HDMI in

I'm looking to get a monitor that has both an hdmi and DVI input. Can anyone recommend a good one?

No I didn't. I bought it from Amazon a few months ago. There was a deal going around for $300 or something iirc. Try looking around for some deals.

Oh theres a non HD version (T260) if you don't care about the TV Tuner. It's cheaper too. Should be around $300.

I'm using the same ToC line as Kensta, but I opted for the 24". I absolutely love it, definitely one of the better TN panel monitors. Plus I'm a big fan of the dark rose-colored bezel, looks very elegant!

I use it with my 360 as well as my comp OP. While the T240 doesn't have speakers, it does have an audio out so I just attach a wire from that audio out to the audio in outlet on my computer speakers.

Yeah, theres no height adjustment and mine is not wobbly at all. It works for me cause my desk has a hutch and it fits in there perfectly. The speakers on it kind of sucks too. Go with external ones. Color is great. Picture looks good on both the PC and TV.

I use a HP lp2475w. An amazing monitor that shares the same panel as some of the really high end $1200 NEC's. Though it is a bit more pricey, it is a H-IPS panel. Which means you'll have the broader view angle, sharper colors (especially your levels of black), and decent response time. Response time isn't quite as fast as some of the cheap TN panel monitors, but its not much slower. 4ms compared to 6ms. Both in grey to grey.

I have an HDTV but didn't run an HDMI cable through the wall so I have to plug in the cable every time I wanna play PS3.. it's a lot more convenient to do it on a PC monitor.

By the way I just ordered an HDMI to DVI cable and that should work with my current monitor.
