Title says it all really i am completely lost with what to do, about 3 weeks ago i built my first system and all went well thank god, i put a monster GTX 580 in it which is a hell of an upgrade from my old 9600GT but i havent bought a monitor yet so im still using my old 1680x1050 acer.

My current monitor is good i have no issues with it i just feel it is rediculas of me to spend that kind of money on the GTX and not have the monitor to show it off! I will keep my current monitor as a second and go dual screen for everyday stuff but for gaming i will only use the new one, i am looking to spend upto £165 i will push to £170 for a really good deal.

There are so many different aspects which is why i really need some help, my rig is 3d ready should i desire but this wasnt intentional and i dont intend to use 3d atleast for the forseable future, however a 3d monitor is always a possability for its 120Hz refresh rate and i have found a full 1080p one for £155, i will link it after my rant, if not that then it comes down to LCD vs LED both of which i have options for and then all the different specs for each. I have basicly come down to these 3, however they are only what i have found feel free to recommend others if they're better.

What do you guys think, i know theres no LCD in them choses but i have no issues with it unless LED is better? What different is a 2ms response tome to an 8ms? I deffinately want it to be 1920x1080 atleast and prefferably above 23"(most i find are about 24")

Like i said this monitors main concern is gaming performance if that makes any difference i have no need for any form of video/image editing.

Thanks for any help and sorry if this is the wrong section i wasnt too sure.
