Help me choose a monitor to buy

So, I just got my GTX 970 and 1 week before it arrived my monitor said goodbye...

Now I'm using a 42' LG TV
Needless to say it looks impressive size-wise but I have to replace the old monitor, or my gf will kill me

It was tough to find(I am from India!)

LG 29UB65:http://www.skroutz.gr/s/4563266/LG-29UB65.html
BenQ GW2765HT:http://www.skroutz.gr/s/5793633/BenQ-GW2765HT.html

The LG is a better choice as it's bigger and has better contrast ratio.
