http://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-VW266H-.../ref=de_a_smtd

or maybe the LG W2486L?

i am open to all ideas, my only requirement is that it has a hdmi.

For that price, there are plenty of options available. You're in the UK? Not sure if that eliminates the egg for you, but if not here is a list of LCD monitors with HDMI.

Alternatively, depending on your source, you could use a DVI/HDMI adapter and then pick any LCD with a DVI connector.

thanks for your reply, yes unfortunately i am in the UK, i was just wondering what everyone else would buy if they were in my situation and recommend some good monitors, used mostly for pc gaming.

I use the Dell 2209wa 22inch monitor ........ work great and I play FPS's. I highly recommend it.

That is quite expensive for what I believe to be a TN panel...
I would look at the Dell U2410 as it is an IPS panel for a bit more, but will look much better in terms of colour reproduction.

Or this 27.5" monitor (TN panel) for cheaper, same resolution and HDMI

Ah, gotcha. Sorry -- I've been out of the display "market" lately. The only thing I know for sure is that on gaming, you want a low response time for LCDs. Like, ~2ms or less, to prevent ghosting.

That's about it! Others will probably have more info.

hey thanks for your reply guys and other suggestions?

the Dell U2410 looks like the ideal choice at the moment

If it doesn't have hdmi, don't bother. Adapters are for when it's your only option. Using an adapter will prevent true hdmi communication (hdmi<>hdmi) between the video card, which must be pcix, and the player depending upon the media used. If it's just a file on your pc it won't matter but an adapter is still absurd unless it's all you got.
