So has anyone been looking into these screens? I know an obvious one is the apple cinema displays, but I've heard that they weren't necessarily the best of the best and are pretty pricey for what they are.

Also not sure if they're HDMI or even PC compatible...

so what are some of the good widescreen type monitors available on the market; I want to eventually use the screen as the secondary screen for a PS3 (or the primary screen until I get a HDTV flat planel).

Will the PS3 offer component output besides HDMI?. Like you can use the PS2's component cable for it?

I don't know if you will be able to use the PS2 cable, but i'm sure they will be other options then HDMI. You will probably need to use HDMI for Blu-Ray unfortunatly (damn overzealous copyprotection, i'm looking at you too HDDVD)

Wait for the PS3 and bluray to launch. Then it will standardize.

At this point they don't even know what they are doing with HDCP and HDMI.
