I'm considering the following monitors to replace my old Samsung 22" Black Rose T220@1680x1050@2ms. I'm looking at fast 23-24 inch models running at 1920x1080. I have included two 120hz models even though I have absolutely no desire to do 3D gaming, but I have heard even for general use 2D applications/games these screens look better than their 60hz counterparts. I'm not sure if that is true, but I wanted to include them. With currently one GTX 580 3G model in my rig, I realize that going to 1920x1080 may force me to buy another GTX580. That's fine. In any case
, here's what I have found on the Fry's site for consideration:

120hz models:

Alienware OptX AW2310 LCD(not LED....is that a concern) 23", 3ms

Samsung S23A950D LED, 23", 2ms



Regular 60hz

Asus VE258Q LED, 25", 2ms

Samsung S23A350H, 23", 2ms

I will be getting a photo IPS panel seperately at some point for my photo stuff, so this is for gaming, internet, etc. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated......
 
I have an Alienware OptX AW2310. It's good except the colors look washed out, almost like sepia tone.

When I shake windows on the desktop, the AW2310 keeps them from tearing at all, I've never seen that before. It's also hella-bright due to being for 3d.
