the Undone guy

I was having issues with a 21" gateway LCD, so I sent it off to be repaired through best buy. They 'junked it out' (the cost of repair exceeded the cost of the unit) which means I get a new one. I work there so I get to pick whatever new monitor I want as long as I pay the difference if there is any.
I was initially looking at the 28" hanspree, but I was deterred by the fact that a 28" monitor only has a 1920x1200 resolution which is the same as most 24" monitors. I mostly game but I also do a little bit of web development and photo editing so I did not want to sacrifice quality for size.
I do want to upgrade to a monitor larger than 21", so I pretty much have the choice of these (minus the apple displays) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=NV5OHDPMNIE1FKC4D3KFAHQ?_dy ncharset=ISO-8859-1&id=pcat17080&type=page&lcn=Computers&sc=abComputerSP&st=processingtime:>1900-01-01&usc=abcat0500000&cp=1&sp=+brand+skuid&nrp=18&qp=crootcategoryid%23%23-1%23%23-1~~q70726f63657373696e6774696d653a3e313930302d3031 2d3031~~cabcat0500000%23%230%23%2311a~~cabcat05090 00%23%230%23%2314~~nf336||32332671756f743b20616e64 205570&pagetype=listing. I'm also not a big fan of the glossy screens.
Any recommendations would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!
