In Search of the Monitor

Bought a ps3 around last month for around $610 (from ebay + postage)
80gb, ntsc (for ps2)

Connected everything, turned on the ps3
monitor (benq fp92W) showed nothing, just black, darkness....
Bring the ps3 to next door, works great (he used Samsung 223BW)
Turns out that my monitor is too old (does not support hdcp)

So i bought a vga box from ebay (around $60)
Received it, tested it....
Works great, but....
The highest resolution = standard resolution
Looks almost like ps1
Broken heart....

Looks for monitor in msy...
Done research in internet....
Found Asus VW222u,
Visited msy, asked for the item.....
"Sorry all the monitor above 19" is not available"
Asked when will the next shipment,
"I don't know" (said it in a bit rude way)

Waited for 2 weeks....
Visit msy again...
Answer was pretty much the same as "don't know"
Tried email,
Said the only brand available is "LG, Viewsonic and Acer"
Patience gone...

Looked in ebay....
Found Samsung 2253BW around $270-285 (bidding)
Sent money to paypal....
Waiting for the money to arrive on Wednesday...
Hopefully if buy on Wed, Things delivered on Fri....
