Short answer no.

Long answer, not yet, but dont hold your breath.

For the moment you could use a projector (not very pratical) or a TV (as some above have already suggested). While you can use some TV's with that resolution, you wouldnt really want to. For a few reasons,
TV's have a larger dot pitch and look ugly when you get close to them, and if you step away so you dont notice it you loose the advantages to begin with.
They are usually brighter and cause eye strain when used in the same way you use a standard monitor.

The big issue is the problem of finding a video card to run it. A standard 30" screen has 4096000 pixels, lets say you had a monitor that was 6000x3750 pixels. That gives you 225000000 pixels, or 5.5 times the amount. Thats going to require one hell of a video card, and the amount of juice to run it. Since each video generation is about double the speed of the last one, you should be fine in 3 more generations or so. So maybe 6 years before we have anything to drive it.

Pretty much any fullHD lcd TV. However, resolution will be limited to 1920x1080 as that's fullHD (1080p) res.
Most come with at least HDMI connections, and often VGA. HDMI is essentially DVI with audio and macrovision, so is compatible with DVI via a HDMI-DIV cable or a standard DVI cable with a HDMI-DVI adapter at one end.
I have a PC hooked up to my main home TV (52" Sony Bravia via VGA), and also a HTPC in my bedroom hooked up to a 32" sony bravia via DVI-HDMI.

Some PCs and video cards are coming out with HDMI connections now, so that's as easy as it gets. You can connect to your TV with one cable that also carries the audio, plus allows playback of bluray etc.
Be aware that not all PC HDMI video cards are capable of carrying the audio though.

What about the 30" Apple Cinema Display. It isn't bigger, but some would argue that it is better because it includes firewire and USB ports.
And don't you have a Mac anyway Jason?

It looks nicer, but I personally don't think it justifies the increased cost.

I use a 46" Samsung LCD tv as a third (sometimes secondary) monitor. It doesn't have anywhere close to the pixel range that the Dell does however, it's really good at what I use it for.

I like the separation of traditional dual monitors. It's handy to be able to easily swing things around and have a bit of physical separation between already widescreen primary and secondary monitors.

However for monitoring (snmp) applications, ticketing, email etc it's very hard to beat something large, big and clear.

I don't own a 30, I have a 24, but I've hear more than a couple of people who own the Apple 30 that they are too big. Leo Laporte had this complaint too.
