Hi I am about to get a PS3 in some time.Right now I have a 17 inch CRT monitor.Playing games on that with a PS3 would be a waste(I am not sure if I can even use it with PS3).
So asking you which monitor should I buy.
It should be usable with the console as well as my pc.
I have a budget of about 15k.

Also suggest a speaker system to use.
I would prefer a 2.1 under 3-4 K

Thanks

Dell G2410 should cost you around 14.5-15k

and Altec Lansing Octane 7 (VS 4621) should cost you 3.9k. Or, Go for Altec Lansing VS4121 which will be ~3.5k.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
One more question can I use PS3 with the existing CRT monitor?
