Ok, so which is the best 3D monitor (primary use is gaming) cos i'm giving away my 27" samsung LED. Quite lost in the monitor world so please, any help would be appreciated.

Noone replied to you yet? The Asus VG278 has them all beat. I have it and love it. There are several in this class to choose from, but if Nvidia 3D vision is what you want, then the Asus is a great option.

Why does the VG278 have them all beat?

Sometimes opinions are subjective, and sometimes they are based on specific experience. Here's a good start for that Asus 3D monitor.

That's not a review, just the specifications and features typed out. I've searched high and low, and haven't found an actual review where they went into things like color calibrations and input delay.

PRETTYMUCHANY3DMONITOR is a 3D monitor sporting NVIDIA’s newest LightBoost technology and is packed with NVIDIA’s second generation 3D vision glasses. LightBoost technology is a newest innovation by NVIDIA to improve the 3D image quality. This technology adds an extra layer in the display panel to avoid darkness in the image and adds the brightness. This monitor has got full HD resolution support and is boosted by LED backlit display. If you love to play the latest 3D games and want to enjoy Blockbusters 3D movies at the home then this monitor might be a sound investment for you.
Features:
PRETTYMUCHANY3DMONITOR monitor is surely designed for the 3D entertainment. This monitor comes with NVIDIA 3D Vision two glasses technology and LightBoost technology adding the new virtual dimension to your amusement. NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 glasses have added the virtual reality and LightBoost technology has added the sharpness to them than any other monitor from the past. These technologies has made a perfect bundle for comfortable viewing and inspired gaming for prolonged hours. Video intelligence technology is another splendid technological addition to this device. This technology has made it capable of automatically analyze the current task and thereby adjust itself in six preset video modes for color accuracy and image clarity.
The 2 ms of response time and 120 Hz refresh rate has also added charm and smooth experience for your action packed games with few considerable lags and ensure crystal clear and crisp video playback. The monitor height can be adjusted, tilted or rotated to match the preferred viewing angle in 3D gaming mode or while watching movies. Another noteworthy feature of this monitor is the stereoscopic 3D support via HDMI 1.4a input along with the traditional Dual Link DVI-D input thus making this monitor capable of watching 3D content via 3D Blu-ray Disc or PS3 console.
Pros and Cons
PRETTYMUCHANY3DMONITOR PC monitor has taken whole 3D experiment to another level. The packed NVIDIA 3D Vision two glasses and LightBoost technology along with Video Intelligence technology has generated the clarity and depth than any of its predecessors were able to generate in 3D screen. The bigger size, 3D supports over HDMI port and full HD video support are others remarkable features of the monitor.
But this brilliant 3D monitor has got some of the limitation as well. Don’t expect a high class and professional quality color palette and wide viewing angle on this 3D monitor. At the default factory setting you might face some crosstalk but you can get rid of them by lowering the contrast ratio or brightness of the monitor. The price is also a bit too high while comparing to other 3D monitors but the packed extra features might cost that worth to this device. Eco Friendly option is not available over the OSD so it lacks the option for conserving the power at any level on the long run.
Conclusion:
Thus to conclude, PRETTYMUCHANY3DMONITOR is a one of the best 3D gaming monitor available on the market so if you have got a huge budget to be spend then this monitor is surely designed for you. Again if you wished to watch best 3D movies then this monitor is a perfect choice for you for its crisp, clear and huge display.

While I cannot comment on color accuracy and stuff like that, the BenQ XL2420T still leads the pack when it comes to input delay. The retarded gamma curve options on the XL2420T are actually pretty nice if you want a competitive edge.

I got 120hz's about a year ago, and while they are quite nice under the right circumstances, 3D and the higher refresh rate is not really worth it

In my opinion, you would be better of spending the money on geting proper IPS-screens instead

Fair enough - I guess it depends on how you define review. So, I agree with your BenQ2420T. There is a written review in the September 2012 issue of "MximumPC" and the give it a "kick-ass" (9) award stating, "Possibly the best 3D monitor you'll lay your eyes on."

Then that is substantiated by this review . . .

Keep in mind that 3D monitors are still a niche product - maybe even a fad, so there are not going to be a lot of bench testing articles until the market grows a l,ot more.

Do some research then. The asus is as good as just about any TN panel out there and it features the newest 3D tech, which is what you inquired about. Its under $600 now which isn't bad as it also comes with 3D vision 2 glasses and has a built in 3D emitter. Calibrate it with a spyder and you are good to go. Input lag? Are you kidding? There is none and I am a sensitive person to ANY form of lag whatsoever. You will need an acurate way to measure that and there are more detailed reviews available to tell you how much latency there is.
