Which of These LCDs would be best for gaming

I'm looking to get a 17" LCD available choices in my price range are:

Samsung 710V 16ms 18bit
Illyama ProLite E431S-B 16ms 24 bit
Illyama ProLite E434S-B 14ms 18 bit
Illyama ProLite E435S-S 10ms 18 bit
Samsung 710N 10ms 18bit

Main use will be for roleplaying games and systemshock 2 (Bioshock ?) with some web and photoediting.

Anyone have any experience of using these for games and how good are they.

Also does DVI give a better image.

Does 18 or 24 bit depth make a difference for gaming.
 
Tomshardware just did a look-see at a few of the monitors. Samsung's 710T seemed to come out with decent scores.
 
Don't get the 18bit panel. Colors will be dithered. If at all possible, choose the 24-bit to get true color display. I rather give up some response time to get 24-bit. The reason why most of these panels can get fast response time is that the manufacture sacrificed true colors in order to get it.
