I was wondering anyone have any recommendation for any of the items display above? I just need the keyboard only with bluetooth feature.
For the external screen, I want to spend less than $800 but with ability to connect to video game console w/ 60 fps. I wonder if a computer screen is capable of such a task? My laptop screen (e1505) can only display my game console at 30 fps even if the game is capable of 60. It might just be because of the gamebrigde can only display 30 fps which is why I am asking for a computer monitor with connector to hdmi and s video.
Side note: I will not be watching cable tv with the monitor.

Very few actual computer monitors come with HDMI inputs, most have DVI. They shouldn't have a problem with 60FPS though.
As far as the monitor, I'd recommend the Dell 2407FWP. It's one of the best 24" screens on the market, has a ton of inputs, built-in USB hub, and it comes standard with a 3 year warranty. You can pick one up for ~$650 if you catch it on sale. -
I was thinking about the 24" dell but also with the whole 60 fps when playing console games. I don't really know if its possible but like I said, maybe its my laptop screen or the gamebrigde. I will keep that in mind since the monitor cost 700 right now. Any keyboard with bluetooth capability?

I'm getting a 2407 later this week, I can hook up a game system and let you know how it works. I don't know how to measure FPS though if I'm not going through a computer.
As far as the bluetooth keyboard, it depends on your budget. Check out the Logitech DiNovo Edge keyboard. It's bluetooth, and it's the first that has a rechargeable station, so you don't have to spend an arseload of cash on batteries all the time. They get great reviews everywhere I've seen, and they look hawt. -
I'll second the Logitech DiNovo recommendation.
As far as monitors go, consider models from Samsung and Dell. I think Samsung has a model with HDMI input, but I do not recall the model number. -
I pull the trigger on both from dell. The Logitech DiNovo was 170 there as opposed to 200 on logitech's website. I have another question, which connector should I used with the laptop If i want to duel-screen? My laptop is the E1505.

Nice - they are £750 ($1500) here so WAY out of my price range. I settled for the Dell 2007WFP - it is meant to be here AM tomorrow, so it should be waiting for me when I get home from uni!
