hi guys alittle help if you would be so kind

im looking for a new monitor and im thinking 27"-30" mainly used for gaming ,surfing and blu-ray playback
i have a 6990 so am i correct in thinking i cant use any nvidia 3d stuff?
would 120hz at 1080p be better or 2560 ips like the dell ultrasharps? i think i want to go glossy screen aswell so im leaning towards this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-166-SA&groupid=17&catid=1120&subcat=
may want to go eyefinity in the future so need to factor that in also

im sure this will have been discussed a thousand times so if someone in the know could give me some advice i will close the thread...thanks in advance

Nobody got any perils of wisdom on this?

I can't really advise you on what to get or the benefits of 120Hz or 2560x resolution. I can tell you that, no, as you have an AMD graphics card, you don't get nVidia's 3D surround technology, however, AMD do their own 3D technology so you shouldn't miss out there. What I will say is that I know that surveys have said that gamers don't rate 3D.
