Monitor vs HDTV

[Fargo]

Due to a lack of space and the fact that I sold most of my consoles recently I'm planning on getting rid of my current TV which is a 26" sony s2530 and connecting my pc and ps3 to a new monitor. Anyone got any recommedations I was thinking of something like this 24 " dell 1080p http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna...hs1&sku=180695

Kinda worried about the black levels on a monitor thou, there not great on my current sony and I wouldn't want them getting worse.

The black levels/contrast performance will almost certainly be worse.
Unless you for for something with a Super PVA panel like the Dell 2709W.

At that price, the Dell S2409W is almost certainly using a TN panel, so expect poor black levels and contrast (and viewing angle), but good everything else.

Its a good price so I think I'll take the plunge, thanks for the help

I have the Dell monitor, it's excellent.

I think a lot of the problems with poor black levels are due to incorrect settings.
PCs use a range of 0-254 for black to white but video (TVs) use 16-235.
Just make sure you set the reference levels correctly on the PS3.
