New monitor time... suggestions?

My dad just got an Asus 24-inch for Father's Day. I don't know what he spent or what features it has, but I think his wife got it at TigerDirect.

My Soyo 24" (1920x1200) has passed into the scrap heap. Apparently about 2 years after Soyo. Sucker is still under warranty, too. So, it's time to replace it. For you real code monkeys out there, what have you bought lately that you are very happy with? I'm trying to avoid analysis paralysis ;)

I use a 24" Lenovo Thinkvision L2440x at work and a 22" Samsung Pebble 2232BW at home, both are surprisingly good, When using the Samsung I miss the extra real estate of a 24" monitor, the lenovo is excellent all round, I would however expect it not to be good for game play IMHO 5ms response is a bit low for good gaming or video.

Why not get two monitors? Given the current prices of two boxtops and shipping? I've been using two monitors, one in portrait orientation and the other in landscape. It has been wonderful and I've been trying to get the company to upgrade all my minions to the same configuration. I love being able to view code and PDFs in the portrait monitor and then the properties, immediate window, etc on the landscape monitor.

Oh, this is #2. I have a Dell XPS1530 with a WUXGA display. :) What I've learned so far is that 1920 x 1080 is the most popular format, so if I want 1900 x 1200, the prices go up. I'm not sure yet if the 120 pixels missing will annoy me or not.... if they do, I think I'll just give to the the wife and buy another.
