I'm looking to buy the best 1920x1200 and ~27'' monitor. I do game so a low response time would be nice and I do design work as well so having a nice contrast ratio would help. Anyone know the top ones? Looking to get 2 of them eventually.

Staying under $300 or so would be ideal, but if the monitor is worth it, I'll dish out some extra cash.
 
What exactly do you mean by "design work"? Is it professional or personal?

The best large monitor in your price range is probably the Asus VW266H. It is starting to get hard to find and Asus may be ending production of this product. It is no longer in stock or sold by Newegg, Amazon, or Buy.com.

It uses a TN panel which means it is good for gaming with 2ms response time. However, TN panel monitors are not ideal for professional graphics usage if color accuracy is important and the viewing angles are not very good.
