What monitor should i buy? Please Help ..

I wanna connect my ps3 to the monitor, play pc games and also do my programming job.

I have seen NEC's multisync but it does not have hdmi connection, though good response time(6 ms)
I do not like HP.
I see dell with lots of comments but can't decide.
Samsung?

Which monitor should i buy?

Sorry for not mentioning the dimension. I m looking for 26 inch monitor (though i looked for 30" monitor but much expensive) with best quality. I do not need sound box etc stuff. I have altec lansing fx5051. But i do need hdmi facility cause i wanna connect ps3 to it as i mentioned earlier. I have learned that ips panel gives best image quality and tn panel gives best response time. All i did surfing nec, dell, samsung's site and also read some of the articles. I find that nec gives the best monitor (i m not an expert selecting a monitor just assumed) but do not have the hdmi facility. Buying a hdmi to dvi with audio converter is expensive. I do read about samsung T260hd. Seems that it would satisfy my need. But i m confused reading some articles over it as well as over hp, dell. So could not decide which to buy. This is all the story.
