Me and my dad just picked up a pair of these for our PCs:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9274607&type=product&id=1218072894682
LG 1080p monitors with a 2ms response time and 50,000:1 contrast ratio. They have VGA, DVI, and HDMI inputs for only $229 (you can also get one with a matter finish for $219). Excellent bang for your buck.
Granted, they have no speakers, but you could probably buy one of these for your PC and run your ps3 through that, thus using the PC speakers as speakers for your ps3.
If you have the money to invest in somethign larger scale, I'd definitely go with a Bravia like your brother or a Samsung HDTV.

lol, no way!
I was considering picking one of those up when I get some money, but I haven't seen that many reviews on it. There's one that looks similar on newegg, but it's a different model number so I'm a little unsure about it even though it has some good user reviews. I went to Best Buy to check it out on display and it looked nice, but it's difficult to really tell if I like it or not based soley on their crappy demo video reel.
I think I have sensitive eyes and I'm looking at this monitor for it's low response time and such to replace my monster 19" CRT and I don't want to strain my eyes and such. How is it? Also, can you run lower resolutions on an LCD monitor for your PC or do you have to run it on it's native resolution?

I was thinking of getting an HDCP monitor for PC/PS3 use and I've had my eye on this logitech adapter to hook the PS3 up through my PC speakers.

I'm really liking the monitor. I've had very good luck with LG monitors over the past few years. This one supports HDCP, the works, and I plan to get a Blu-Ray drive for my PC at one point, too. My only complaint is the damn red light at the bottom. First of all, my entire room is a mix of blue and gray, notably the lights on my PC case and whatnot. This being red just doesn't fit, especially since red in my eyes means standby mode. xD
And yes, it supports every resolution up to 1920x1080. It does a surprisingly good job with lower resolutions, too. I'm playing Left4Dead at 720p until I can upgrade my PC, and it doesn't look half bad. My old monitor made things look much blurrier with a bit of pixelation when runnign lower resolutions. This one scales nicely, however.
Btw, thanks for linking to those adapters. Those were just what I was looking for a couple of years back when I was thinking of hooking up my ps3 to my old 1680x1050 monitor. If I ever decide to do that with the new one, I'll now have some way to make it work.
