Ok, Im buying a new monitor for gaming and watching movies in my room, and I cant figure out which is best. I use an ati hd4890 video card currently, with a samsung 1600x900 20" display. My options are these.

Currently I can play any game including crysis at max details, I dont know however how my card will fair under the a resolution of 2048 compared to 1080p. Also Im not sure if its really worth getting a bigger monitor rather than increased resolution. So here are the advantages I can find.
Samsung:higher rez, higher contrast ratio, but lower 5ms response rate and 23"size
I-inc:lower 1080p rez, lower contrast ratio, but higher 2ms response rate and 25" size. Which would you guys recommend for my uses (gaming, movies, studying/reading books online, school stuff)? Thanks!
