I'd like to use one LCD monitor for both a Mac and a Sony Playstation 3. I've searched the forums and found out that Dell makes some monitors with component video inputs. Are there any other monitors with this feature?

Thanks,

lw

Well, you have a while to think about it if you're going to be using the PS3... I think there are some other monitors with that feature, but the other option is to get a device that converts video into a VGA signal. They're not all that expensive.

HP and Samsung both have 23/24" HD LCDs with component inputs.

The Samsung supports PiP and PbP like the Dell and includes a TV tuner, but its $600 more and lacks a USB hub.
The HP lacks is $200 more than the Dell, lacks a USB hub, and doesn't mention PiP/PbP support.

I'd recommend the Dell unless you want the built-in TV tuner and you're willing to pay $600 for it.

I have the HP 2335 23". It does support PiP.
