I'm looking for a new monitor, mostly for gaming, minor 3d modelling projects, and some photo/video editing. I was looking at the BenQ XL2420T, but I'm not necessarily looking for 3D and would like some other suggestions. I'm mostly looking in the 22"-24" category, but I'd consider a larger display as long as it's less than 19" in height (with the stand). I'll be using it with a GTX 670 and my budget is around $500. I'd appreciate any input, thanks.

Picked these up for my TRON Legacy theme build. Got the optional light bar upgrade kit(s). Note, for a quad channel package you will need two light bar kits as each covers two sticks. No issues...

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

An IPS monitor would be a good choice for you. The Dell Ultrasharp series is very good , and you should look at the U2412m, u2312hm, and maybe the U2410.
HP also makes some great IPS monitors although I don't know much about them.
I have the U2410 and it's a wonderful monitor for work stuff like photoshop.

Neither of those are good for gaming.I would recommend:
BenQ XL2420T
Samsung S23A700D / 750D / 950D
Dell U2312HM
LG IPS277L
or the koreans.
Also read this before making up your mind.

Don't listen to the Hydros anti-1920x1200 propaganda that he trots out every time they're mentioned. The Dell U2412m or ASUS PA248Q are perfectly fine for gaming. In fact, they're better than most.

If you are worried about the U2412's delay you should know that TFT Central's input lag measurements are wrong, both the U24/2312 have around 2ms of input lag, refer to PRAD.de for accurate input lag measurements.
If you want something better get the Asus VG23AH, it supports up to 76hz with custom timings and unlike every single matte IPS panel it does not use a grainy matte coating. It's priced in between the Dells.
