B. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3301100&sku=B145-2750

well okay, well if you're not doing professional photo work, the VA panels will ve fine and the BenQ GW2750HM is a great choice. Don't go with that other one with the TN panel. TN is just horrible..

Well for photo editing, the VA panel on the BenQ GW2750HM may suffice, but it is known that IPS delivers the superior color accuracy. ASUS just brought a new line of IPS monitors that I would heavily recommend for your needs. You did not mention your budget, but this only costs a little more than the BenQ's that you listed for higher quality display and a reasonable 5ms response time to compliment your gaming needs.

If you have any other questions or need something more specific, just ask. Hope this helps. :)
