Anyone know if this monitor is any good, i'm not very up on contrast rates and types ect.

I do some photography and a bit of gaming nothing competitive

It appears to be a TN panel, so while good for gaming, might not be the best for photography.
someone with experience with this specific monitor might be able to tell you just now the colour reproduction is, but generally an IPS, VA or equivalent panel would be better for photography.

Can you suggest any in the same price range, ideally with 1 dvi and 2 hdmi ports

This is an IPS monitor which is more suited to photography, although I would suggest considering 2560x1440 IPS if you can afford it.

I have one of these, got it at a cheaper price a while back (around £150) and it's been flawless. Really great monitor!

This would have been ideal for you but it just lacks the dvi input but you can get around this with a HDMI-to-DVI cable

IPS would be your best option for photography, graphics, rendering or fine art. VA is the next best option but colour accuracy is generally not as good as IPS, though blacks should be better.

I think the dell ultrasharp u2412m would do the job, I see it has mini dp and dp on the monitor, would a dp to dvi adapter work as I need to keep the hdmi ports free and my gfx card only supports dvi
