I'll be plugging my system directly into my existing HDTV, but the 27-inch Samsung SyncMaster 275T makes a good desktop alternative because it includes a range of inputs for analog and digital connections. Make sure that your display supports HDCP for Blu-ray Disc and movies (as this one does). And if you intend to use a PC display rather than connecting to an HDTV, be sure to splurge on some good speakers, too.

Display price: $1000
Total system price (with display): $3115
