30" All-in-One Display: Apple 30"/Gateway XHD3000

When space is key, you should look for a display with good versatility – something that can serve as a huge work monitor or medium-sized television. While Apple's 30" Cinema Display is the slickest looker, Gateway makes a sweet rig as well. Both are plenty sharp for computer work, and they both use DVI as a standard input -- the Gateway also comes with the ability to hook up multiple high-def sources, including HDMI, S-Video and component. The Gateway model does 1080p and even has a video upscaler to make everything look good, from Blu-ray to YouTube (Gateway also has an impressive-sounding sound bar that gives satisfying 2.1 sound for movies and games).
