The top one looks to be superior spec wise but if it's just for ps3 then maybe the native 1080p screen would be better, running the 1200p screen at 1080 might not look too great and as the ps3 doesn't support res higher than 1080 the screen will have to run at a lower res than its designed to as opposed the ps3 scaling up

Need to take care with Argos descriptions: Someone I worked with years ago coined the term "Argos Watts" to refer to their specious claims on audio equipment. You know, claiming 400W on some cheapy stereo that has thinner-than-doorbell wire to the speakers .

I am thinking of getting on of these monitors.

How is the monitor working for you. With PS3 or with anything else.


Thanks,
