If like me you only have a PS3 and Xbox 360 (with Blu-ray and HD-DVDs).

Would it not be cheaper just to buy a PC monitor that can display HD level Resolutions?

Looks very nice, up until recently PC monitors with that resolution seemed to cost a fortune.

Depends how much you value your viewing, with the price of LCD panels now you could get a big screen TV for a hundred and fifty pounds more. I have a 46in Samsung in my bedroom and playing Bioshock on it, well if I didn't want to get up and wipe the water off the screen the graphics were so amazing.

Perfectly fine for HD viewing, in fact closer still would be better!
