I recently started gaming on a 22" Samsung monitor and have no regrets, I used too play on an 42" SD TV but now I prefer the monitor as its in HD and on my room.
A 22" to 24" is a great size to get as along as your not too far away from the monitor. If you can't afford a monitor with built in speakers don't worry about it as there's a way around it.
You'll need the following, if you have a monitor without built in speakers.
PS3 (duh) :P
HDMI to DVI...or a HDMI to VGA (Depends on which one is in the back of the monitor.(The HDMI goes into your PS3 and this is your video,and the DVI or VGA goes in the monitor.)
PS3 AV Cable..The red and white cable are for sound and the yellow if for video, we won't be using the yellow cable because HDMI is in town! :D..when you use a HDMI on a non Speaker monitor you lose your sound.
Plug the PS3 AV cable into the PS3 and connect the white and red cable to this...2x RCAcable and then connect the black jack to this 3.5mm Stereo Jack and then you can buy some cheap speakers or headphones and plug it in...now you have sound and HD video up to 1080p.
Watch this video it will tell you now to change the settings which you need to do in order to get the sound and video working.
Enjoy if you need help just send me a message and I'll help you out :)
this is how im set up i have a 23 inch lcd LG monitor and i use a hdmi cord from my ps3 to the monitor and then the monitor has a mic input where you would put headphones or speakers plug headphones or speakers in it and voila you have sound and picture .TC you should look for a monitor that has hdmi so its easier and most monitors have this nowadays . You dont need the rcas if you have hdmi
