Help selecting monitor

[Fergal]

I had ordered my new desktop and am a little stuck on what monitor will be best for gaming.

I have currently chosen the Liyama E2473HDS and am thinking of upgrading it as I'm not sure if it will be good enough, I'm looking at the Hanns-g HS233H3B and the Asus PA238Q.
Does anyone have any experience with either one or advice on which on will be best?

Between those 2 for gaming I'd go with the Hanns-G 23', it is 120hz monitor and also supports 3D.

That's the one I was swaying towards as the Asus one is 50-75hz but response time is 6ms but it looks the nicest out of them all.

There's really not alot on the Internet about them in the way of reviews and such

Since you have 2 x GTX 670 I'd go with a monitor that supports 120hz since you are going to get +60 fps and with a low response time, I think IPS panels are more suitable for photo editing.

Makes sense pal, I'll be calling PCS tomorrow to amend the order Happy days

You should be able to modify the order online. I'd suggest having a go at 3D gaming as well as 3D movies since the monitor supports nvidia 3d vision.
