New Monitor Selection Assistance!

[Anthony87]

Hello, all! I recently met with financial stability and can finally afford a few small luxurys, namely a new monitor.

I am a master of Accounting student, so I will use the monitor often for working on spreadsheets and reading.

I enjoy games, movies, etc.

Specs I know I want:
27"-32"
LED LCD
Higher contrast and brightness than average
Low response times (I figure <6ms)

Specs I have no clue about:

I have no idea what connections to use. My computer has VGA, but I will soon upgrade the graphics card to one which will support DVI. I would like a monitor with both DVI and VGA.

I would also like to be able to hook up my Playstation 2, and other items, that use composite video. Can a monitor have that...or will I need a converter? If so, which type?

My budget here, not including shipping, is $300.

Any help in deciding what to purchase, and where from, would be greatly appreciated!
