I'm after a new Monitor for around £150 mark. I'd prefer it if it has a HDMI input, and screen size of either 22" or 24".

The reason I'd like one is, I'd like to hook up my computer to it, and also a PS3.
How would I go about getting sound from the PS3?

the sound would go through HDMI

only if the monitor has speakers :) otherwise in the audio setting options you can have it dual output the audio to another source. For example you can have an HDMI cable from PS3 to monitor, then use the optical out to speakers. :)

Ah I see, thanks for the reply.

Do you know of any speakers which support this?

That was only an example :) you can get the scart/red white yellow video cable which comes with the PS3, then select the audio output via this. Then get the white and red coloured phono cables and get an adapter to 3.5mm. Once you have the 3.5mm you can then plug into any "normal" set of speakers. I know it works because I had a TV which could only take DVI so I bought an HDMI to DVI converter for the video feed then set the audio up like above and it worked! :)
