What people should remember is that when shopping for hardware usually also other games than AH should be considered.
What runs AH may not run Crysis.

I am using Crossfire and dual ATI 4850s. FR of my 24" LCD is a solid 60 which matches the refresh of my monitor.

I just went through the process of buying a new LCD about 4 months ago and settled on this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014173
It was out of stock but they show available now.
I did quite a bit of research and found the Anandtech forums to be the best overall source of info. They have a great write up on monitors including recommendations:

I looked at the Gateway 24 and even purchased one - it went back three days later. Not that is was "bad" but for the money it wasn't that good. The Benq looks better than the Gateway and is cheaper. It has the HDMI and DVI inputs which you want. I am running it with an Ati 4850 and Aces High looks ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. Highly recommended.
