I had a Gateway XHD3000 a few years ago, but I had issues with how hot it became (and the heat output into my room), so I gave it to my older brother who used it as an office monitor, and he told me it died about 3 months ago. I liked how I could connect my game consoles to it in addition to using it as my computer monitor, though. Now I'm wondering what current extreme-resolution (i.e. 2560x1440 or higher) monitors (including less-publicized Korean brands) are usable for this.
The following are models I'm aware of:
Dell U2711 - DP, 2xDVI, HDMI, D-Sub, Component, Composite
Dell 3008WFP - DP, 2xDVI, HDMI, D-Sub, Component, S-Video, Composite
Dell U3011 - DP, 2xDVI, 2xHDMI, D-Sub, Component
CrossOver 2720MDP - DP, DVI, 2xHDMI, D-Sub, Component
CrossOver 3020MDP - DP, DVI, 2xHDMI, D-Sub, Component
Yamakasi Catleap Q270 Multi - DVI, HDMI, D-Sub
I've seen opinions from some people that the anti-glare coating on the dell ultrasharps is awful, and I've noticed that they have high power consumption with their CCFL backlights (which would mean a lot of heat output).
The CrossOver 2720MDP looks very weak in the contrast ratio department in this review, even compared to other IPS panels:

The Yamakasi would need some kind of adapter or a capture card in my computer to handle consoles with component output.
Are there any other monitors that fit the criteria (I don't insist on IPS; I'm willing to consider VA or even TN if there are any at these resolutions), and are there other drawbacks to these monitors that users have noticed?
