What monitor should I buy?

There's a version without HDMI input (but with DVI-with-HDCP, which just needs a cable to connect to an HDMI source) for a bunch cheaper. The way I see it, if you're going to buy a good monitor, you'd best just buy the 30". You'll be there eventually, anyway. If for some reason I become in the market for a monitor again, I'll definately be buying some flavor of Dell 30".
