Recommendation for 24" monitor

For my birthday my wife let me replace my old computer and for Christmas she said I can replace my monitor. I currently have a 22" 8ms monitor, I want at least a 24inch and 2ms since I use my computer primarily for gaming. Empire total war, dragon age, fallout 3, mass effect, dawn of war 2, etc. I was considering the below monitors, the first one is sold out but seems like a nice one. I don't mind waiting that long.

Thanks for any advice
 
Thanks for that find, it does have the same specs and looks to be a good monitor, I'll check out some reviews of it to see how good a monitor it is, thanks again

I can vouch for the last one in your last, the LG W2486L had it for a couple weeks now, I play most of the same games you do and it is a great monitor for those games. It's a little clunky to put the stand together, but after that its fine.

If you want power saving/energy saving it's great too, my kill-a-watt says its drawing about 25 watts at the wall.

No adjustable stand though. Otherwise I love it.
 
Certainly some will disagree, but 1920x1200 seems to be getting up there in pixel pitch on a 26" monitor unless by having the larger size you choose to enjoy a larger viewing distance.

i have 2 of them and i prob sit closer them then i should however the pitch isnt really an issue its actually quite nice because txt is easy to read
 
Avoid the 1920x1080 panels unless you watch movies or game with consoles, since you are coming from a 1680x1050 which is nearly the same vertical res. Although you will get a wider periphery, images, objects on screen will be about the same size. So you will not see much of a difference coming from your old screen.
