Q. Because I'm thinking of getting an LCD monitor for my computer but why not just get an LCD TV and use it as my computer monitor among other things? Whats the difference?
A. There are numerous differences between lcd monitors and lcd tv sets today. The biggest difference is resolution. LCD monitors have way higher resolution than HDTVs. Most consumer HDTVs max out at 1920x1080 pixels (1080p aka "full HD") while common monitors with screen sizes 24-30" are capable of 1900x1200 or even 2560x1600 (that's way more resolution than your common 1080p tv set). Basically, LCD monitors have better pixel pitch since they have a lot more pixels at a much smaller screen size (compare a 1920x1080 50" with a 2560x1600 resolution 30" monitor).
Next is panel technology. Most manufacturers of LCD monitors use TN panels, while almost all LCD tvs use something like MVA (not sure about ips). Basically, TN is cheap and the monitors reflect this in their prices. TN gives fast response times while MVA/IPS allows excellent color reproduction as well as preventing colors from shifting when viewed at an angle. However, there are many mva/ips LCD monitors too, it's just that they're usually much much more expensive.
LCD monitors also usually do not have tv tuners but some, like the samsung T240HD do come with a buil-in tuner and a remote control.
Before buying, try to research first on the LCD tv's input lag and response times, since these will be the factors most readily apparent in everyday computer use.

Is it possible to use an LCD monitor with DVI port for Playstation 3?
Q. My LCD monitor doesn't have HDMI. Is it possible to connect a Playstation 3 to it using converters or something?
Can you explain "right audio jack"? Getting audio seems to be the problem now. Anyone knows how to get audio for sure?

A. In addition to getting an HDMI to DVI adapter, you would connect a second cable to another port on the PS3 to get audio output.
You could use the composite AV cable that came with the PS3, it has three RCA plugs (red, white, and yellow). The red and white plugs are stereo audio. You need to connect those two plugs to something that can amplify the signals and then play them through attached speakers or headphones.
External computer speakers should accept that audio signal, but you may need an adapter that combines the two RCA plugs into a single plug that fits your speaker connection, like this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=rca+to+3.5mm&hl=en&cid=17333923446508843273&ei=pWrlS6XvE4v6MeSayEU&sa=title&ved=0CAcQ8wIwADgA#p .
You could connect an optical cable to the PS3 instead of an RCA one for surround audio, but then you would have to connect it to a device that can accept optical audio (either a home theater receiver, a PC sound card that accepts optical audio, or a surround headphone system like this: http://www.trittontechnologies.com/index.php/products/gaming_audio_technology/ax-pro ).
