    Console gaming monitor?

    I am new to this site so I thought I would break the ice by asking a little bit of a different question. The whole story goes like this, The first monitor I used for my PS3 was a 20'' dell w/ a 5ms response time. Next is the monitor I'm on now which is a Asus 21.5 1080p 2ms and I like it but I want something alittle bigger. So I have decided to go for a 23 or 24 inch monitor. The interesting part is that I want it to do more stuff, like be a tv/monitor. I have been looking at Samsung and LG, both of which I have never owned in any way shape or form. I just RMA'ed a Sceptre X240BVFHD because it just looked like c**p and very poor picture quality. It had a HDTV tuner in it and a 2ms response. i will be playing both PS3 & XBOX360 on the new monitor I finanally choose and watch TV and hook up my computer. So the fisrt one that I have narrowed it down to is Samsung T240HD. It has all of the connections I'm looking for but the resolution 1920x1200. I don't think that will look good for gaming. the next one is Samsung P2370HD which resolves my issue with the first one resolution,1920x1080 but only one HDMI input. The two monitors look almost the same, as far as spec wise but the P2370HD is a inch smaller. The last and final one is a LG M237WD-PM which is also 23 inches but 2 HDMI inputs. The downside is its 5ms (gtg) and the others as far as I can tell is 5ms (btw). The LG also has 1920x1080. I been looking around for reviews of these monitors and The most popular one say go with the T240HD for gaming but thats for computer gaming at 1920x1200. I would like some advice or opions or experience with any of these monitors.

    Snap to maximize windows
    Formatting huge hard drives
    It's Vista but better

    The ASUS M4A78-E sucks, don't get it.

    It's 1080p, well, that's kind of obvious from the HDMI port but nice to know you live in CO too. I saw some cheap-cheap LCD monitors up on Craigslist, not 1080p or super big but they're above average for the price you pay.
