[6ixside]

My tv only has 2 hdmi ports so im looking for a computer monitor to use for my ps3. I want one with speakers. Not sure which ones to pick. Any suggestions? Preferably under $200(CAD) and 20" to 27".

Instead of getting a whole new TV you could save some cash and get an HDMI Switch like this:

How does that work with switching between devices?

How does that work with switching between devices?

It just takes multiple input sources and lets you switch between them like you would when changing inputs on a TV.

 

Here's one of the descriptions from the Kinivo:

 

 

 

Kinivo 301BN is a premium quality High speed HDMI Switch for your gaming or home theater setup. It allows for switching upto 3 HDMI inputs into one output and supports resolutions upto 1080p. 

Easy plug & play operation 

Simply plug in the hdmi input sources into the input connections and the output connection to your TV or projector. 301BN will automatically switch to the currently active input source if there is only one active input. If there are multiple active inputs, then you can select the input either using the IR remote or using the select button on the switch. The HDMI signal from the selected input is passed through to the output HDMI connection. 

Quality Picture and Sound 

- Automating switching(smart function), IR remote controlled switching or manual switching 

- AC powered (Power adapter included) for maximum compatibility 

- Supports 3D, HDCP and all other HDMI 1.3 features 

- Guaranteed 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i Resolutions 

- Works with all HDTVs, Blu-ray players, Xbox 360, PS3 and other HDMI devices 

- Helps reduce clutter of HDMI wires being fed into your HDTV 

Note: Apple TV keeps its HDMI port active even in the sleep state. Hence, auto-switching may not work with the Apple TV. Manual switching can still be used in this scenario.
