Looking to get rid of my old TV and purchase a monitor I can game on with my PC and xbox360.
Been looking at: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/23-asus-ml239h-ips-led-(backlit)-1920x1080-5ms-250cd-m-500000001-black-hdmi-d-sub
Any recommendations on this? Pros and cons etc. Price not much of an issue, under £200 if possible, around 23inch would be fine.

Why is it that a 24" Monitor with DVI gives better quality picture than a 40" LCD TV gives with the same PC using HDMI?

TV's are designed to sit watching far away at higher brightness, a monitor it for sitting 2 feet away.
Most people's 40" TV's only cost what a decent 24" monitor does.

I've got a 40" Samsung LCD TV that I use with my PS3 and the quality is spot on.
I've got my PC (I've had to use a DVI - HDMI converter as it has dual DVi out on it rather than HDMI) and the quality on the same 40" TV is probably about 60% as good as the PS3.
I'm getting a Benq 24" 1080p monitor that i'm hoping is going to improve quality matters as i'll just be using DVI.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.
The quality is displays with the ps3 will be exactly the same as the PC, hdmi-dvi is just a cable, no converting going on, HDMI is dvi + audio and a couple of others.

I wish I understood myself, in a nutshell, the quality of my PS3 on my LCD TV is awesome with HDMI-HDMI cable, the quality of my PC on the same TV with a DVI-HDMI isnt as good.
I'm using a GTS-240 1GB GPU with dual DVi out.

What are you using to gauge the quality, same thing on both PS3 and PC? Same settings for both inputs?

Yeah same thing. On the PS3 the edge sharpness is clearly better.
Same settings too.

Was it a video or something?
What's decoding the video on your PC?
Do you definitely have the PC input set so it's displaying pixels 1:1?

No video, just desktop and photoshop, how do I found out if its outputting at 1:1?
It's set to output at 1080p on the Nvidia control panel.

What is the TV set to? On the older Samsungs I know it was called 'just scan' it will be different on different TV's though.
How are you judging the quality in photoshop if the PS3 doesn't have that.
Could be loads of things, there will be loads of settings in the nvidia control panel, they should display exactly the same quality though.

Stats don't mean everything, dell ultrasharp monitors are brilliant, your 140 one isn't better.

My U2410 on my desk is the best screen I have ever looked at, ever.
