The other problem with this is that they come in a 16x 10 ratio instead of 16x9 but my Samsung monitor handles this well without distortion, my Benq, not as well.
If you go this way make sure the monitor is HDCP enabled.

I'd also like to add that I'm not sure a HD STB has enough power for a 30" monitor as they require a DVI dual setup.
I am currently looking at getting this model here:

I pretty much had to Google all those abbreviations you listed to see what they were, but this monitor seems to have everything you listed.

All I really want to do is hook up my regular cable to it (I don't have HD programming yet) and my PS3.
