That being said, I'm not going to go out searching for a really expensive LCD TV. I already have an LCD Monitor, so I figure, why the hell not use that? The HDMI to DVI cables won't be a problem, ( not exactly expensive, ) so I figure this is my best option.

Now, anyone do this? Anything I should take note of? ( any specific stereo/sound solution I'll need, will it be letterboxed, or will it be slightly stretched on the 16:10 ratio, etc. etc. )

When you originally turn it on, it will be in 480i at 4:3. If there is something better, it will say "Playstation 3 has found that the output can be displayed at X resolution and X aspect ratio yada yada yada" and you can switch it from their, and if you use HDMI for video out the default audio will be through the HDMI.
