i'm trying to find a monitor that'll have the following specs. as u can see, i'm looking for either a 19" or a 24" LCD monitor:

option 1:
size: 24"
resolution: 1920x1200 (needs to be this resolution in order to play 1080p HD video @ native 1920x1080 without scaling down and thus losing quality)
response time: 2ms (need the best response time cos i'll be gaming)
contrast ratio: (at least) 1000:1 (ideally) 3000:1 (or higher)
(VERY important): 1:1 Pixel Mapping ( need this so 1080p HD @ 1920x1080 [16:9 aspect ratio] does NOT scale up to 1920x1200 [16:10 aspect ratio] )

option 2:
size: 19"
resolution: 1280x1024 (needs to be this resolution in order to play 720p HD @ native 1280x720 without scaling down and thus losing quality)
response time: 2ms (need the best response time cos i'll be gaming)
contrast ratio: (at least) 1000:1 (ideally) 3000:1
(VERY important): 1:1 Pixel Mapping ( need this so 720p HD @ 1280x720 [16:9 aspect ratio] does NOT scale up to 1280x1024 [16:10 aspect ratio] )

Start with these three and make comparison of different brands.
I'm not sure which brand carries true 2 ms response time.
