Hello guys, I'm just getting my old PC, a HP Pavilion a6632f, upgraded and my parents are moving me into a different room. I have everything for the Pavilion, except a monitor. I would like to know what would be a good monitor/screen that can be used for other things, such a regular TV and for gaming (both PC gaming and console gaming). I'm not very knowledgeable about PC, or electronics in general, but I am getting my computer upgraded, that way I can keep up with today's games. My Pavilion will be getting its RAM upgraded from 4 GB to 8 GB (which is the max my motherboard can handle, IPIBL-BL), and I will be adding a XFX Radeon HD 7750, which can handle a natural resolution of 2550 x 1440 I believe. As stated in the title, I want this monitor/screen to be all-purpose basically, without having to constantly be changing cords and all. I will have HD TV(Directv) and will be hooking up, primarily, my PS2. Currently, I don't have a budget, but I would say my max would be $700, and I'm not looking to have a huge monitor/screen, so a 30 inch would likely be my max. Anyway, thanks for everyone who are able to help, also there is no rush as it'll be a while before I move into the next room and get the computer all set.

that HP tower won't handle a 2560x1440p monitor when gaming, too much graphics/CPU power required.
Are you asking for a PC monitor or console T.V./monitor?
I'd this monitor -

This is a true gaming monitor!
-144Hz
-1ms
-1920x1080
-24"
-3D
I would also get a better desktop computer to take advantage of this display.

Thank you, but just out of curiousity, what do you think my computer can handle. I don't know every part, I do know it has a IPIBL-BL motherboard, and will have 8GB of RAM, XFX Radeon HD 7750 1GB, and an Intel Core2 E6600. What do you think would be the max resolution setting it can handle without "straining" itself(overheating, crashing, etc.)?

Thanks again, I'm looking at the monitor and it seems i can use a HDMI and VGA. However, Ima need a HDMI input to connect my Directv set, an AV port for my old systems (PS2), and either another HDMI or DVI input for the PC. I know this demanding a lot, so is there anything like this that exists? I've been looking around myself but I'm not doing to well. Sorry, I feel like a dope cuz I know so little.

- 1 HDMI: for TV purposes
- 1 HDMI/DVI: for PC
Those two you don't need adapters, I have used DVI-HDMI and that works (This is not the same for all cables!)
- 1 HDMI/AV: for old system (likely need AV to HDMI converter)
This one you need an adapter like this -

Only has 1x HDMI, 1x VGA
Your going to want this monitor then -
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
This has no DVI input, you need an adapter that is DVI to VGA. On the other hand t has 2x HDMI inputs, and is an excellent monitor for the price.
