Hi I just wanted to ask if the "BenQ FP202W 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black" Would be a better purchase then the "Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Midnight Grey" I really fancy something I could play a xbox 360 or PS3 on, and Ideally just play some games like CS:Source and WoW. Which one would be the better purchase?

Thanks Joe

the BenQ is based on a TN Film panel, and certainly more responsive for gaming than the 16ms S-IPS panel of the Dell. However, it is restrictive for viewing angles and movie playback, so depends if this matters to you? The NEC 20WGX2 and Belinea 102035W are very hot right now and offer the best of both worlds really. Might be worth looking at those models?

They both seem nice monitors but would you be able to play a 360 or PS3 on each of them?

360 has a (optional) VGA cable, so it will work on pretty much any monitor. Personally I wouldn't go for the Benq for a 360 because of the limited viewing angles of TN panels. I wouldn't go for the Dell either because it's comfortably out-specced by the Belinea, NEC and Viewsonic, as Baddass says.
