Hi guys! i stumbled across to this forum as i have been searching for a new monitor. There are so many options in the market now, and with even just one brand there are so many different models!! its all so confusing so was wanting a quick recommendation from you lot who know it best!

well.. im looking for a computer monitor which will be used mainly as a computer screen (i.e. playing games, DVDs, surfing the web etc). But also im looking for a monitor which is HDMI connectable so that i could play my ps3 on. And one more thing with a TV turner as well! im not being too picky am i? but they are the 3 most crucial things im looking for.

Now ive done my faire bit of research and ive managed to come up with these 2 screens...
