Looking to get a 26" or 28" Display

I am looking to get a little bigger display, but can't decide on which one to get.
I would like to spend around 4-500ish.
I will use this for standard use and occasional gaming and watching movies. I do a little photoshop and some CAD work, but I have a professional display at my work so no big deal.

Here are two that I was looking at.
Hanns G 28"

What are your thoughts, concerns, and recommendations. I am willing to spend a little more if it is worth it.

For the most part, but I have only used their motherboards, never anything else. Thanks though, anyone else? Hoping to order this today.

To me, the viewing angle Is a most important spec, particularly for a large monitor. The two you linked have H/V angles of 160 degrees. That means that you have to keep your head positioned more centered in front of the monitors to keep them from looking washed out. 178/178 degrees is much better, and usually more expensive. Here are two such:

I use two 27" Samsung 275T monitors and am very pleased. You may have to search for them at a decent price.

A more reasonable monitor is the Soyo 26" monitor:

Soyo is a name that you may be unfamiliar with. It is a basic monitor that has had some very good reviews.
At $329.99 from officemax, it is worth looking into.

The hanns g is a terrific value, will cost you twice as much to get a better monitor.

I'm using a Samsung 37" 1080p as an extra monitor right now (I have another one connected via usb2dvi) and for the text to be readable without strain at 1920x1080 (its not crisp) I have the tv only 1.5m away. It's great for watching vids but not so great otherwise.
