I currently have a 19 inch "Gem" (Yeah, I never heard of them either) 1280x1024 display.
I work at home (real job) and also do a lot of work at FileFront on their forums, network, etc... and frankly this tiny screen just isn't cutting it anymore.
I only have a 8800GT GPU, so I know gaming at higher resolutions isn't going to work out until I upgrade my GPU, but for every day use I need a bigger monitor.
On NewEgg they have the ASUS VW266H, which is a 25.5" 1920 x 1200 monitor

Is anyone here familiar with ASUS brand monitors? I won't be using the built in speakers, so they arn't really a factor. I do plan to upgrade my GPU at some point to either a 5850/5870 or GTX470 (depending on price) so that should make gaming at 1920 x 1200 easier (or, if I win the Gulftown system *crosses fingers* it won't matter)
NewEgg also has this Hanns-G monitor, which is larger at 28"

Which would you go with?
