in the fall i will start college so im getting a 13 mbp ive decided

the dorm doesnt have enough room for my 37 inch tv...:mad:

im thinking about getting a monitor to put on my desk to use as an external display for the macbook as well as a good display for the ps3.

i was thinking about this

anyone else in my situation? any suggestions would be appreciated! thanks!
 
The Dell 2209WA is the best monitor in that size/price range by far, and it can be had for a little over $200. You might need a HDMI or DVI switch, though, since it only has one DVI input.

To connect your MBP and PS3, I'd suggest this combo:

Code:
MDP->HDMI--->|HDMI Switch|
PS3--------->|...........|--------->HDMI->DVI adapter->Monitor
