Upgrading my 17" TFT...recommendations?

[blop]

Hi all,

Im looking at upgrading my monitor as part of a whole new system build, and i was wondering what to get.

Gaming on my 17" is a bit dated so i want something mainly for gaming but it would be good if i could do two full screen apps on a screen.....like two firefoxes side by side. It must have HDMI and be capable of 1080p

So my questions our what size do i need and what brands are good?

cheers

if 1080p is a big deal for you, consider getting one of the newer 19:9 aspect ratio monitors instead of the usual 16:10. dell makes 23 and 24 inch monitors that do 1080p without the black bars on the bottom, and they have VGA, DVI, and HDMI inputs.
