Hi everyone, I hope this is the right location to post this in, and I figured PC users would know best, I apologize in advance if it isn't. I'm interested in getting a monitor this summer to use to play PS3 games, as well as external speakers to get some good sound, and I'll also be using it as another display monitor for my macbook pro. I don't particularly know a tremendous amount about the best monitors or speakers available on the market, the Tested boards are a little emptier compared to the GB community so I've come here. I'm a freshman college student on a budget so my limit is around $350 for both the monitor, and some decent speakers. Thanks in advance for for any and all help that everyone can provide.

Get Viewsonic, i like their monitors alot.  Get one with an HDMI port and it'll be a good to play PS3 on as well as PC.

Thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely check it out, how are the internal speakers if you do have that particular model? Does anyone else have any recommendations?

I agree with a view sonic screen. I looked online and it had very good reviews. I brought It and am very happy with the performance and value.

LG or Samsung, Viewsonic if this was 5-6 years ago on a CRT. Not anymore.
