I'm looking for a good LED monitor for PS3 and 360 gaming.

I am also going to use my PC on it but just for word documents and web surfing.

I probably want a 23 or 24 inch.

The SamsungBX2450 and PX2370 look good and have good reviews on CNET.

Since console gaming the main point of it, a monitor that is more of an HDTV and less of a monitor would probably be good.

Thanks for any advice.

A monitor will always be better than a TV at the same price. What's the difference? Mostly just what inputs they have. Besides that, I could safely say most monitors would crush similar sized "TVs" in terms of picture quality. So if you're looking at something under 32", then you look for the best monitor you can.

My vote goes to any LG or Samsung monitor, preferably the LG. There really isn't much of a difference since you can use a HDMI to DVI to connect the PS3 and 360, and even use a VGA cable for the 360 from monoprice. Just see which ones from those brands draw your attention the most. 2ms > 5ms but not if the price gap is huge. Get a larger screen but not if its like 80-100 bucks just for another inch or two.

I know a few excellent monitors like this LG but it isn't LED, but it has a lot of inputs and built in speakers. This one costs more but it's LED. Don't know if it has built in speakers though. Also an ASUS that's pretty good.

An Asus VH232/242H are good monitors because of their HDMI with audio so you can plug speakers/ use its crappy speakers and + it is great for a monitor. Check Cnet for a reveiw. There not LED but still they have great picture quality.
