So I am currently looking for another monitor as a main display for ps3 and pc and having my benq gw2250 as a secondary display.

 

I need the following requirements:

-Has hdmi, dvi and an audio out. 

-at least 1080p

-IPS

 

I have done some research and only the Asus PB238q fits my requirements. Any other suggestion?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Connect PS3 via HDMI to monitor and then go into the PS3's setting to set the audio output to the AV Multi Out. Then connect the White and Red RCA to your stereo/speakers.

 

You wont be happy with the audio you get out of the speakers from a monitor they pretty much suck.

 

If you can live with the above I would get a Dell Ultrasharp.

^ no hdmi bro, those ultrasharps was my first plan. As much as possible, i wanna avoid having too much adapters. And what i meant about the audio out is the 3.5mm jacks, i dont care about speakers. Thanks tho any other suggestion? I'll have those dell monitor in my list.

No, the monitor is not sexy.. maybe Linus is, as that is what it reflects.

Glossy monitors sucks. Reflects everything. And this Acer monitor doesn't have height adjustable.

There is also the asus mx239h it has 2 hdmi no dvi, but has audio out. For the price though I feel the pb238q would be a better value.
