Looking for big display reccomendations!

I'm looking for something in the realm of 30-42 inches. I will be using this for games (PC and Wii) along with DVD's and television. Pretty much everything, and I'm hoping to incorporate this into a HTPC in the future.

Any reccomendations?

Also another quick question, do the 30 LCDs which say they require 2xDVI inputs for max resolution also need these for lower resolutions (1920x1200) or can you use a single DVI cable for this?
 
They require dual-link DVI, which is really the same single DVI connector but with a different signal flowing through it. I don't think 1920x1200@60 Hz requires dual-link DVI, but 2560x1600@60 Hz will.

I recommend the Dell 3007WFP (2560x1600) and Westinghouse LVM-37w3 (1920x1080). I would go with the Westinghouse. I can't imagine trying to drive a 2560x1600 screen. I'd be skeptical whether even 4 8800GTXs could do it reliably with high quality settings for the next two years of games. I like my games lower resolution but at super (high textures, 8xAA, Vsync) image quality settings.
