Bout to have my PS3 shipped to me here in Japan in a few days. Looking to buy a nice LCD monitor to hook up to it. I want something around a 24" that will output 1080p... i'm just not sure what to get. Was looking at the benq v2400w and a few other monitors, but would rather have some input from the fine people at hardforum. Also, if i have my PS3 hooked up to a LCD monitor, what would i do about audio? Would the audio have to come from an external source of the monitor?
 
The PS3 has an optical audio output you could use. You also have the stereo audio output from the AV cable that comes with it.
 
Whichever LCD monitor you plan to look at, avoid the Planar PX2611W. There is a known color banding issue when connecting a game console to play at 1080. Lower resolution does not result in color banding issues.
 
Just got paid and ready to buy a monitor, still don't know what to get though!
 
The V2400W has an audio out, you can HDMI the PS3 to it and then use the audio out to connect to your speakers or you can just use the HDMI cable and if you have an optical connection on your speakers, you can use it to connect the PS3 to it.

I bought the V2400W because of the reviews here that its good for PC and PS3 gaming. I will get my PS3 Christmas time hopefully.
 
I have V2400W for almost 3 mths...love it so far. HDMI, 1080P, Audio out, awesome for gaming.
For 16:9 no black bar display BenQ has this E2400HD just launched.

cccraaaappp my old 20" viewsonic vx2025 just died and i was planning on putting the Planar in its old spot next to my HP2465 and using it with the ps3 i was thinking of getting.

i cant think of a single 1920x1200 monitor to get now. bugger.
 
I am using a Samsung 215TW connected through dvi (hdmi-dvi cable) to the ps3, sound via optical to a logitech z5500 speaker system. I never had any issues.
 
This is the first I've heard of banding issues like this with the Planar. I don't own a PS3 but I can set my PC's output to 1080P and see what happens.

I have a feeling this is a BS claim, though, as it doesn't make sense as to why the monitor would look any different in 1080P vs 1200P with 1x1 pixel mapping enabled, aside from the black bars on the top and bottom of the image.
