Looking for an 'all round' monitor

[Brunsathon9000]

I'm about to start my masters course in illustration in a couple of months, so work is getting a lot more important. With this in mind I've chucked out my 2233rz and am looking for a good all around monitor that will be adequate for both gaming AND that has good accurate colour reproduction.
The main two monitors I've had my eye on are the Dell U2311H (which a lot have praised on here) and the Samsung xl2370. I'm a tad worried that the dell (which I think looks a load nicer than the samsung) wont be up to the task in terms of gaming however due to the response time.
Budget can't stretch over £220 really (max), and monitor needs to be full hd and 23 or 24 inches.
Any help or alternative monitor suggestions would be great
Cheers!

The Dell will be fine for gaming, don't trust stated response times. Always look for reviews. I don't know much about the Samsung but the LG W2363D has a very highly praised 120Hz screen.

thanks for the reply
120hz isn't too much of a biggy for me. the dell has many a good review but so does the samsung! they both have their strengths, it'd be nice to have a monitor that's got a good contrast though (gotta love them deep blacks )
