iam getting the 8800 gts and the Acer AL2216WBD 22"
Well, DVI is a high definition interface, it can support resolutions of up to 1920x1200 (although the monitor can only support 1680x1050, so it cannot properly play back 1080i or 1080p sources), but it lacks HDCP, so you won't be able to connect a Bluray/HD-DVD player or a PS3 to it.
The 30" is higher resolution and obviously bigger, but it's not HDCP enabled, and only has a DVI input. The 30" is the monitor I use, and it's fantastic, but you won't be able to plug anything but a PC into it.
