I don't know of any computer monitor that will display HD resolutions native, so you will take a small hit in graphics quality hooking it to the PS3. widescreen monitors are 16:10 ratio native while HD is 16:9. That being said you may be happier buying a small HD TV with a connector for your video card, It will still run your computer at 1333 X 768 and run your PS3 in native resolution. I would go to a local electronics store and ask a salesman which ones are capable of doing this.
You might want to try the General Hardware forum, as they'll likely have a better idea on all this stuff than a lot of the PC Hardware forum regulars will (myself included). It does work both ways though, and I'm not suggesting that you posted this in the wrong area - just not the optimal one.
