You do know that the resolution is the same on the two screens you linked too? also with two screens the bezels are in the middle of your vision.

WoW the 27inch dwarfs the 24inch thought it would be closer.
p.s. It was just point out i could get 2 x 24 for the same price as a 27 inch thats all.
Hard choice between a 2560x1440 and 3D. Sadly its hard to find a store where you can see it in person.

a good link for this sort of comparisons

So by the looks of it, the earlier image comparison is a little misleading. It's probably because it's taken from an angle, and the 27 incher is closer to the camera.
If I were you, I would check some reviews to decide which one to take. My recommendation (without looking at reviews, though): The 24 incher is probably a safer bet, because traditionally with bigger TN panels (which both of them are), you get some color distortion on the edges when watching from a close range. Furthermore, the price difference is quite notable.

Well, that could be an individual thing. For example, I have a 19" CRT and use 1024x768 with it, and before that I used a 22" CRT with 1280x960, and always had to zoom in to read text on web pages with both monitors. Viewing distance usually between 2 and 4 feet.
And at the moment I'm looking at buying a 32" HDTV (1080p) to use as a primary computer display. I tried my 32" HD-Ready TV (1366x768), and thought that was fairly OK, so I shouldn't have any problems with 1920x1080, even on 32". And I still have a foot or two to spare on my desktop, so 5-6 feet viewing distance is attainable, if needed.
But it's true that when sitting on a close range (and if you have better than average eye-sight*) you might be able to distinguish the pixels apart, which lessens the "immersion" effect. But this is something you should find out for yourself through empirical testing. I know in my case, I would probably have to set a fixed 150-200% zoom on web browsers for a 24" 1920x1080 display.
(*): I don't consider my eye-sight to be bad or anything, I don't even need glasses.

I'm stuck between the Asus and the Dell, I think the depth of colour and all round awesomeness of the Dell would be great but when I think about how smooth 120Hz might be and the possibility of being ready if 3D becomes popular.
Personally, I'm betting on passive 3D technology to become the more mainstream solution. Most likely will happen at least on TV side. Furthermore, passive technology is already possible (and at least on TV side has already been done) to integrate with IPS panels, which are miles better than TN panels, which in turn is what all the current 120Hz monitors are.
But to make things more complicated, AUO (panel manufacturer) has announced to be making A-MVA panels that are able to give 120Hz. A-MVA is somewhat a compromise between TN and IPS, and could be a great alternative, if it truly gives an adequate 120Hz. But the flicker will still be there, because the active solution is by design a shutter-based technology, which always has flicker.
Another thing to keep in mind: active technology gives full 3D resolution for half the duration (one eye at a time), while passive gives half the vertical 3D resolution, but continuously for both eyes. And also remember that active (120Hz) needs more horsepower. Basically twice the horsepower when compared to the passive (60Hz) solution. But naturally 120Hz has its benefits for 2D use too, if the horsepower is provided.

first result in google for: compare monitor sizes

has always done well for me.

I really would like a 3D monitor but i dont want to end up with it being a fad like what happened with my eyefinity. IPS monitors are nice but the only benefit they give is deep and vibrant colours. Its like choosing between games, do you want one with a good storyline and lots of features or one with amazing graphics. Sometimes its hard to choose. Sadly the only local store is a large purple chain and I dont think they stock decent monitors...
