Theres a special forum for monitors:
Computer Peripherals : Flat Panel Monitors

To answer your question:
I like myself some 1080p because im editting movies on my screen.
It depends what you're gonna do with it but i think its worth the extra bucks.
Your GFX card may have an HDMI slot but that doesn't mean you have to use it.
I dont know the exact differences but i think DVI is just as good as HDMI.
Please correct me on this if im wrong

both would handle games just fine although the 2ms would be a fraction better and make sure the monitor has either dvi or hdmi because like everyone should know they are much better than the vga
