    Do any of you have any advice on which monitor should be a good pick to use with a PC(gaming and watching movies), a Wii and a PS3 at the same time.

    I was thinking about going for the large dell. Any tricks about native resolution, upscaling or stuff like this ?

    I use my Dell 2407 and find it perfectly adequate. You'll need a DVI to HDMI converter for 1080p and blu-ray though as otherwise you're limited to 720p over component and standard def from blu-ray discs (as no HDCP) - no HDCP = no HD :(

    I was wondering if I go for the large 30 inches (it would make sense for me as I have no TV), will upscaling games be ugly ?

    The Westinghouse LVM-37w1 seems to be a good choice for a computer/TV setup. It's obvious that it was designed to be used in an HTPC setup with the types of connections that it has onboard. 720P (support for PS3 games), 1080i and 1080P (Blu-Ray/HD-DVD native). 1920 x 1080 desktop resolution. And it's affordable. The 37w3 seems to be a refresh of it that has an HDMI port.
