Oh and what type of adaptor would I need to connect my Wii or my PS2 to it? I have the regular 3 prong cords for both and for the wii I have the S-video cord with the 2 sound prongs. Thanks!

EDIT - Would I need this? - http://www.amazon.com/DVI-HDTV-Component-Video-Adaptor/dp/B000I98ZIM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1228495005&sr=1-6

Would I  have to get HD cables for my Wii?

EDIT - I also am looking for a good surround system or at least a couple of good speakers for around 70$ thanks!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836184005 - I found this one.

and this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836110030


EDIT - I can use the screen and speakers wth my wii without a computer right?

You can use the screens without a computer. I would go with a monitor with a 2ms response time, it will perform better for gaming and get something that has a good contrast ratio and is HDCP compliant if you can.

This one is one of the ones I had and it's 2ms repsonse time but does it have the connector I can use to hook it up to my Wii?

This is also HCCP compliant so I'm going to get this one (my personal christmas present :D)

What connector do I need to connect my wii?
