monitor recommendation please

My existing monitor, a Samsung 2443BW 24 Inch needs upgrading, so I am hoping for some recommendations please.

I want to spend £200-£300 to get a decent IPS panel (23 or 24 inch)
I do like the look of the Dell UH2311, or Benq XL2410T 24" (on this week only which is a bonus)

I will keep existing screen as a secondary, but I am not planning on doing any eyefinity stuff for now. (not too bothered about 3D, but I guess having something compatible will be good)

Cheers in advanced

Thanks the the advise on the Ben Q (I am definitely after an IPS panel)
Between the HP ZR24W, and the Dell U2311H, which do you feel is best (taking size out of the equation) (I'd push the budget to £320 if I feel it's worth it?)

I do a lot of web based stuff, (forums etc), so I want a screen with crisp, crystal clear text.

Ahhh, the choices!!!
The U2410 looks dam good! Best of all worlds I guess! Web Stuff and gaming.
I also do a lot of coding in visual studio, if that makes any difference.

So, choice of 3 now I guess!! (edging towards the U2410 now).

one thing on the U2410 is that it has been out for a while, so dell may release an updated IPS panel soon (ish)
I am not in a huge hurry tbh, so would it be worth holding out for a bit?

yeah, I was pondering the 16:9 - 16:10 choice!
I think I prefer the extra height TBH!

Can't see games not supporting 16:10 screens however!
