Building a new rig (first in about five years) and I'm deciding on a monitor. Apparently it's not as cut and dry as it used to be.

Here's my criteria.
24" (I could go a little smaller if there are enough pros)
Want to play Xbox 360/PS3 on it via HDMI, preferably in 1080P, or whatever the hell the highest quality is (I'm not a video phile)
This rig will be used for gaming only, no email, word processing, movie or TV watching. I'll be playing all sorts of games, Call of Duty type games, RTS, RPGs...

So from what I've read I want low response times and low input lag. But at the same time I want the eye candy. Initially my budget was about $200 but looking around I'm not sure if that is realistic anymore. Also I'm planning on doing Eyefinity with my new Radeon 5870. Eyefinity is one of the main reasons for the rather conservative budget as I'll be buying three identical displays.

I found these on Newegg. They don't seem to be listed on Digital Versus unfortunately.
LG W2453V-PF Black 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail
ASUS VK246H Glossy Black 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail
ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail
SAMSUNG 2494HM Glossy Black 24" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor - Retail


One of those Asus displays is out of stock at Newegg but they should be getting more soon.

Thanks guys

Edit: Apparently the Samsung is on Digital Versus with an average input lag of 14 ms, min of 9 and max of 17. Is that considered good?
