I have noticed that Dell has announced a 30" monitor, and some people just thinking about use it for gaming:

Well personally I do think $1199 is too expensive for me, with that budget I can get a tv.

30" monitors have been available for a long time now.
Not only is that monitor expensive, but to get playable frame rates at its native resolution, you'd need a pair of high-end video cards running in SLI mode.
The creme de la creme of Socket 939:
Opty 185 @ 3.2GHz
SLI'ed GTS-640s, both flashed to 625/1458/1950
4GB PC3200
Blu-Ray/HD-DVD, X-Fi
A8N32-SLI Deluxe

I have checked out the specifications in that deal, not very good.
