Hi,

I'm looking for a 27" Monitor with HDMI inputs and that can support my MBP with thunderbolt connection as it doesn't have a HDMI out. I can use a thunderbolt to hdmi adapter which I think in theory should work.

Do monitors support audio out as I have seen some that do. So I should be able to use external speakers with them right?

I have £300 max to spend and would like something decent. I would also like something with a thin bezel but I think image quality will overcome that desire.

Please advise, thanks.
 
It doesn't exist.

If you want a decent screen that's going to have displayport, then Dell U2412M - but as the code suggests, it's 24". It's also 1920x1200, so not a 1080p res.. this may mess things up for the PS3. Also, response time is a bit.. meh for gaming.

Thin bezel.. Dell Studio S2740L.. but then 1920x1080 on a 27" screen.. yuck. I'd want 2560x1440 at that size (I have two U2412Ms) and in your budget that means Hazro or DGM. The DGM has been reported as having issues with Macs connected via the displayport.
 
Thanks for the Reply Gex. I was hoping to have a 27" but if not then it's ok.

Anything good in the 24" range. Something which I can connect external PC speakers to?

Not really too fussed about the bezel.

EDIT: Main usage of monitor will be for PS3/Movies. So I'd initially like something with low latency, but good colours too. I've looked at this; Benq XL2420T. Anything else which is as good, and cheaper?

Ghosting at 2ms shouldn't be an issue? My BenQ is 5ms and I can't notice any kind of ghosting. DSR is there if it's ghosting at 2ms as well surely.
 
I might just go for it. Just worried about ghosting as I did a youtube search and a few reviewers mentioned it. It affects monitors which were made before March.
 
I guess you could try it out? But sending a monitor back is expensive for both sides of it. There's quite a few monitors out there with the specs you want though, perhaps keep looking. :)
 
I don't think there are many other that are decent as that. There is a fix for the ghosting hopefully the one I do get will be a good one.
