I know these threads can get tiresome but i genuinely don't know what monitor to buy.

Either samsung 226bw or dell e228wfp or even dell 2407.

22" size wise is ideal for me but I like watching movies so a non TN panel would really be ideal. However I'm not sure my rig [sig] could run games at native res on 24". While the samsung 22" spec wise is better than the dell, the dell is cheaper, and also looks better imo, I dont like the bright blue LED on sammy or the reflective surface, and I can't buy the sammy atm as only OCuk stocks and they won't deliver to my uni address.

I've changed my mind on what to buy so many times, please help !
 
I was in a similar position last week, and I went for the 2407. I'm really glad now, as this monitor is beautiful for gaming and HD video looks amazing. The S-PVA panel is worth the money, as you can jump around while gaming without losing picture quality. You would have probs with the latest games at 1920x1200 though, but you could use lower resolutions with 1:1 pixel mapping until you upgrade your gfx card.
