Heyas, I want to get a new TFT, but I also want to get an identical one a few months down the line, which ones am I likely to be able to find in 6-9 months time?

I'm after 22-24" 1920x1080 with HDMI and DVI, preferably LED.
 
Thanks for the comments, ideally, you're both right in suggestions, I am looking for a good monitor that will last a fair few years, but also one that will be on the market for a long time too, as I've oftern thought of upgrading my monitors (as I have a 19" and 26" currently) I'd have ideally bought another 26" - but can't find my model for love nor money, and I only bought it a year or so ago (Samsung T260HD)

Whilst the LG IPS231P is a good looking monitor, it's not got HDMI, which is a bit of a selling point as I don't require speakers, and also I can hook my consoles up to my monitors.

However! The IPS236V-PN seems to fit the bill quite nicely, HDMI, IPS, and under £140 from places, hopefully this monitor will be on the market for some time as this looks like a winner to me :)
 
With regards to gaming, the only level of gaming I'll be doing is a bit of PS3 which wouldn't run at full FPS like the PC versions of games (I don't think?) and WoW (although the missus is slowly beating the geek out of me.)

Apart from that, it'll just be HD viewing on them. Given this, do you think would be a suitable, sub £170 monitor, that I'll be able to pick up a second of in coming months?
 
Ok, after looking at all of the options, I really have no idea what I'm looking at, as I got my T260HD for free, and I just wanted to get shot of my old CRT. :)

Tell me what to buy, £160 budget, 22-24", bigger is better, thinner the better (in both profile\bezel), HDMI\DVI a must, and a second must be available to purchase in 3-6 months time.

To put it into perspective, I quite like the business range of Dell monitors. If they did them with HDMI, I'd be all over them, as they can be picked up for cheap, thin bezel, and good colour. I also find my T260HD is pretty good, the blacks aren't all that black when watching videos, but it's still pretty good, and games (I only play WoW, and seldom play CoD on my PS3 via HDMI) look\play fine on it.
