Default Best monitor for TV, gaming and computing ?

I'm after a good monitor around 24 inch that you can use for computing, gaming and watching blurays plus watching some TV now and then.

Any suggestions ?

Looks good Tidgy, is that full HD as i want to use it for blurays.

Ive been doing a bit of research on the net, the Samsung monitors seem to get good reviews.

I've got a LG one, think it's 23", full HD, and built in Freeview tuner. It's okay, wouldn't want it as a main TV but for the computer and bedroom it's fine. One of these: http://www.lg.com/uk/tv-monitors

This Dell (U2312HM) is the current pick-of-the-crop from the PC Pro mag that landed on my doormat yesterday morning:

Amazon Amazon

About £255 from Dell, but £169 via Amazon (go figure!).

3yr onsite warranty, 1920x1080 resolution and good brightness/contrast to boot.
