Hey guys... I've read THG for years now and I was looking to update my monitor. I have a kick ass Geforce 6600 GT Card looking for a good display. Since I see Computers and Home Theater merging technology (especially with TVs going HDMI input) I'd like to be ahead of the game and get a good screen that I could use either for my home theater someday but at least for now as my PC monitor.

What I'd like:
Great picture, widescreen, left and right swivel maneuverability, easy rotation from horizontal to vertical, good input compatibility (maybe DVI and HDMI?)

I see THG's Viewsonic articles and I hear Dell has some fantastic widescreens. Of course Panasonic has great reviews for HDTV/plasma tvs too. Should I go Computer monitor or TV? I mostly watch DVDs instead of tv (TV shows on DVD) and play classic games and SOME new ones So, best bang for buck, which direction and make/models should I steer towards? Thanks! -Z
