Sounds excellent. I'd recommend Sceptre as the one I have rocks, the only downside is no DVI. :(. BUT! my response time is ~10-12ms. THAT rocks.

Digital Video Input. Basically, the video you see on screen is originally done digitally in your computers video card. It has to translate that into analog for a normal monitor wire thing.  Then when it gets there the monitor REtranslates it to digital. DVI eliminates that, providing much smoother imagery.
