Is it just me or is monitor hunting a nightmare? 
Need some thoughts on a new display - based on currect prices/reviews, narrowed my options down to the following:
LG W2453V-PF 24' TN LCD 2ms
Dell U2311H 23' IPS LCD 8ms
Benq G2420HDBL 24' TN LED 5ms
Acer G245H 24' TN LCD 2ms
Asus VW246H 24' TN LCD 2ms
Samsung P2450H 24' TN LCD 2ms
Would be doing equal and regular amounts of surfing and gaming. Occasional movie watching, and I might plug the xbox 360 in from time to time. I have a DVI-HDMI converter, so I can live without a HDMI port. Don't use monitor speakers. Moving up from a HPw2207h 22', I'm primarily after a slightly larger screen and sharper image - 1080p @ 23/24' should be a perfect balance between resolution, DPI and gaming performce. I'm aware that I might loose a centemetre or two of vertical height.
The LG is the cheapest of the group, with the rest of the TNs coming in at <€250. If I'm gonna get another TN, it has to have very decent response times; however, I refuse to pay more than €250 for a TN, so 120hz or fancy LEDs are a no go
The Dell is interesting, but obviously more expensive - is the IPS really worth it? I'll stretch my budget it if it is, but just for that monitor! It's response times are meant to be adaquate, and I can live with minor ghosting if the image really is much better, particularly with darker pictures, blacks/grays. Otherwise, colour accuracy isn't a major issue, I don't do much graphics/photo work. It would be an advantage not to have poor backlighting/viewing angles, but not a deal breaker.
All thoughts appreciated, and if anyone owns any of the displays above, I'd love to hear your thoughts
