BenQ G2420HD.
I will always recommend this monitor, it's nice and cheap but very high quality.
You also haven't stated a budget.
 
XL2420T sure isn't poor picture quality and is very very good for gaming.

Your card would be great with it especially if you play BF3 a lot.
 
What is more important to you image quality or 120hz ?

If it's image quality an IPS screen will be noticeably better than a TN something like the Dell 2412M offers a stunning image for a decent price. If it's 120hz then the Benq is a good screen but uses TN tech.

Personally I would go for an IPS screen over a TN even at 60hz.
