In the market for a monitor in the 24-27" range with a max I will spend of $900.

I have 2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-130-687&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=4#scrollFullInfo

Games I currently play are BF3, WOW, SWTOR and Batman Arkham City.

Leaning towards an IPS over a TN based monitor since I dont play as many FPS games currently. I was thinking a 2560x1440 display would be great such as the U2711.

Basically want your all opinions on what would be the best monitor for the games I play while sticking at the limit I have as I have not purchased a new monitor for a bit now and want something nicer for my setup.

The u2711 is good, but has a bit of lag and I don't think you really need a 2560x1440 display if you use anti-aliasing.

I have an hp zr2740w and a dell u3011 at home, and a dell u2410 at work. Out of them the best gaming monitor is probably the u2410.

And honestly, if you're not playing FPS the u2711s tiny bit of lag won't matter.
