thanks to all your guys help ive narrowed down my needs,

first off I went to best buy, and you can read about many things but seeing monitors, the size, the resolution, the glossy vs matt, etc, well a picture is worth ten thousand words.

REQUIRMENTS
Im looking for a 27 inch 1080p ips panel with 6ms or better, something with low input lag as I will use this for gaming rpgs mmos rts and some fps.

NOT REQUIRED
I would love something with a true 8bit panel that had a light matte coating, as some of the matte coatings like on dells are I belive too much and hides a lot of the ips quality. I dunno do they call this semi gloss, XD.

anyways I have around 400 bucks, oh and I do need a three year or longer warranty.

thanks again for all your help

http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX44024 is the best asus one in your price range and desired requirements. I have seen this one in person (brother has it for video editing and light gaming) and it is downright BEAUTIFUL

http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX46543 another great looking ips monitor, but you will likely have a better gaming experience with the asus.

These are the only two i can really recommend at the moment, as i have not had much experience with other brands.

Yes. If you were running a 120hz monitor, you would need dvi to achieve that 120hz, but hdmi is more than capable of outputting all you need. I have googled which is better, and at 60hz 1080p, of course there are some saying hdmi is worse, but a large majority of people claim that there is no difference. I have both an asus dvi monitor, and a lg hdmi monitor connected to my computer. I personally cannot tell the difference between the type of connector used between the two.
 
Sound like a broken record at this point but if you're willing to throw away the 3 year warranty requirement theres the QX2710. 1440p, PLS, 96Hz only $300. Minimal input lag as it bypasses any sort of processing (it only has one import port), helped too by the higher refresh rate.
