If i was looking to spend that kind of money on a monitor i would definitely go with Dell. Top quality monitors for sure.

If your looking at that much I'd go for a 1080p Samsung HDTV tbh

i was thinking about it and i am using at the moment a 56" Samsung HDTV 1080P in my living room for all my console gaming (PS3/Xbox360/Wii) and computer movies and surfing but it is not very comfortable for computer gaming and the res is not as high as i can get on a computer monitor (or at least not to my knowledge) as well as the fact that the smallest 1080P i found from Samsung is a 40" which will be too big for my Desktop so...
P.S. I'm also willing to pay less obviously this is just the max

Hmm well I would say yes for now but once some toughwer games come out it may struggle...that's a high res.
Personally if you don't mind a slightly smaller monitor I'd get a 24" screen, but Dell and Apple both do very nice 30" ones...just less inputs

i say 24" is about the limits of how big a desktop display should be tbh.
24" is plenty imo and if you have a good graphics card you wont have any troubles running games in native res.
as you said you already have a nice tv for your consoles so i would just go with a 24" dell.
spend the extra cash on some games or better pc parts or something
Raging.

maybe i will just be satisfied with my 24" samsung and wait for a new Nvidia Chipset and the 9900 GPUs before i go and buy a new 30" screen

Although a 30" screen is nice, I think 24" is a good point to settle at as far as resolution is concerned

If it`s purely desktop, go for a Dell 24". (or 27" if available)
Samsung 32"+ are marvellous, and great TV screens, but they can`t match the color def of the Dell screens imo. I got one under the other atm, and u can tell when u do a multiview thing.
EDIT: Or smash the piggy bank and get an Apple Cinema screen - total droolness.

Apple Cinema screens generally use the same screens as Dell..I know the 2405 was the exact same panel as the 24" Apple Cinema screen

well i already have a Samsung 24" so i will stay with it for my new rig and once the 9900 GPU will be out along with the new Nvidia Chipset i will look into upgrading to a bigger screen thanks for all the help

lmao ya I bet u`r right, plus they tag on $1000 just for fun
24 would probably be the highest I goto for a mainly pc used desktop tbh. I`d um-and-arr over a 27", but fall in love with it once I got used to it.

OK 8 series cards do support high res up to 1920 x 1080 which is basically 1080p this is from experience also
if your screen is less then 42" then you will not notice the difference between a 1080p screen and a 1080i screen therefore i would say go for a 32" screen i think thats just right and bigger as i had a 37" it isnt very comfortable and it will feel like your going blind when the screen goes white (like in CSS when a flash bang is thrown
)
hopw this helps mate
